Lauren (Kandis Erickson) thinks her dorm room is haunted by a little girl. Water turns on, lights flicker, things tumble about on their own. Lauren's roommates, Melina (Tori White) and Alison (Chauntal Lewis) are sure it's just Lauren's imagination. But Lauren knows they're wrong. So during Thanksgiving break, with the dorm empty except for Syd (Jack Hunter), the security guard, the kids decide to hold a séance. If this little girl exists, Lauren wants to know why she's bothering them.

But what Lauren and the others don't understand is that their séance can't bring back a ghost that's already there. But who they do bring back is Spence (Adrian Paul), the building's one-time maintenance man and local serial killer, who killed Cara (Bridget Shergalis), and was executed thirty years ago. But none of them know Spence is there, because he and Cara are both only visible in the dark.

In the light, the kids are blind. So they must throw the dorm
into total darkness and discover a way to send Spence back
to where he came from before he kills them all.
