They must navigate a labyrinth of horror to escape the clutches of Onwu, an evil entity determined to claim their souls.

The horror movie also stars three time AMVCA nominee Kunle Idowu (Wedding Party 1 and 2), popularly known as Frank Donga. The movie also stars Eric Obinna (Inside Life, Razz Guy), Allison Precious and Chuks Joseph (The Origin: Madam Koi-Koi).
