It’s the summer of 1984 in the sleepy town of Lakeshore Falls, where nothing ever happens—until a meteor crashes deep into the forest.

As reality shifts around them, they uncover strange creatures, cryptic symbols, and signs that the artifact has awakened something.

Tommy Mitchell and his friends are obsessed with the game.

But what’s recorded on it isn’t music—it’s a message from Trevor Langston, a boy who vanished three years ago.

They thought it was just an old camera. They were wrong. When Jesse and his friends buy a vintage Polaroid from a strange woman at a flea market, they expect retro fun and creepy snapshots.

Another death that hasn't happened yet.

Summer, 1986. Five friends gathered in a basement for a game of Dungeons & Dragons. The plan was simple: roll the dice, fight some monsters, and kill a few hours before curfew.

As the curse spreads, warping animals and townsfolk alike, they race to uncover the truth buried deep in the desert.
