Newcastle, Indiana, 1982. In a fading industrial town where the past refuses to stay buried, a group of misfit high schoolers forms the Paranormal Investigations Club-born from boredom, curiosity, and a shared sense of not fitting in. Led by the fiercely determined Amanda Stone and the vision-plagued Paul Pallotta, the club investigates local ghost stories that always seem to lead nowhere.
Until they start leading somewhere real.
As Paul begins experiencing involuntary visions of deaths from decades past, the friends find themselves pulled toward an abandoned courthouse and a thirty-year-old injustice. What begins as teenage sleuthing becomes a collision with something far darker: a grief-stricken presence that has been haunting Newcastle since 1952, replaying its fury in fires and violence across the decades.
The club must confront not only the supernatural, but the cost of courage, the weight of silence, and what it means to keep going when the people you love are gone too soon. A haunting meditation on friendship, grief, and the long echo of buried truths.
