Synopsis

The opening sequence starts with an extreme close up of a girl (India) holding a camera to her face whilst crying and talking about how scared she is. She then turns her head and looks behind her and begins to run. The clip then switches to her running with the camera through the woods and cuts out and re-records at random points. We then see a mid shot of her running and she then trips and the clip then fades out. 

The scene flashbacks one hour to a small group of teenagers that are sitting in the woods drinking. The teens sit in a circle talking and drink together, after they have become comfortable one of the teens brings out a Ouija board and convinces the others to participate in using it. The teens begin to use the Ouija board and some of the teens are reluctant but are spurred on by the others. The teens begin to doubt the spirit world and ask who will die tonight, as they place their hands on it and begin to use it, the
Ouija board spells out the name India. The teens look at each other with fear in their eyes then hear rustling behind them and all turn around simultaneously. The clip then fades out.

The scene then flashbacks three hours to when each individual teen was at home and living their separate lives, we see that India struggles with a broken family and a mother that suffers from mental illness and we are given an insight into each of the teens lives. Because of our insight into each of their lives we realise why each of the teens act the way they do and empathise with them as the story goes on. We then see all of the teens meet at Laurence's house and get into two separate cars and head out to a forest in the country side.  They arrive at midday and have a day of antagonising wildlife and drinking together. The teens later in the evening set up their tents and have dinner and then move away from their camp to a deeper darker side of the forest to tell ghost stories and explore. 

The scene then shows the teens sat in a circle exactly the same as in the opening sequence and shows what happens after. After the teens look deep into the forest with fear, objects around them begin to move away and darkness engulfs them. We hear screams come out of each edge of the forest around them and the teens begin to panic and run back to their camp for safety. Whilst running back they each separate and split off from each other unintentionally. We see India running and hiding in various places and looking for some sign of safety. It begins to rain and she hides in a small cave where she finds mysterious writings on the wall, we then witness India's struggles and search for safety and as the story goes on we begin to piece together what is going on and rout for the protagonist (India). 

Later India finds herself in a mysterious demonic circle made of stone and spirits around her summoned by the Ouija board, the board lies open in the centre of the circle and in a chilling end India's childhood sweetheart Laurence emerges from the dark forest and trades his life for hers with the spirits that have been summoned. India then moves the figure to the goodbye sign on the board and then closes the board in tears.
