Documentary writer Ellison (Ethan Hawke) writes crime stories from reality and is looking for a new bestseller. Without telling the rest of the family about their motives, they move to a house where there have been a number of bestial murders in the past and which Ellison hopes can be the subject of a new, successful book. During the move, he discovers a hidden, mysterious box with a disturbing content consisting of old video recordings of the house's previous owners, and the murder of them. As he delves deeper into the mystery, the family is brought closer to their worst nightmare.
