Ethan Carter and a group of survivors are trapped in Black Hollow, a town where nightmarish creatures emerge after dark. After discovering a journal that hints at an escape route beneath the lighthouse, they devise a plan. As some create a distraction, Ethan and his team activate a mystical portal—but someone must stay behind to keep it open. Jonah sacrifices himself as the others escape. They emerge on a deserted road, believing they are free, until they see a new town sign: “Welcome to Fairmont – Population: Growing.” The terrifying truth sets in—the cycle hasn’t ended; it has only restarted.
