Jessica Fox is an investigative journalist who follows an anonymous tip to the abandoned Abaddon Hotel. She brings a small film crew, former Hell House editor Mitchell Cavanaugh, and a TV psychic into the building. The group wants proof about the deaths and disappearances tied to the old hotel. The found-footage film mixes tense room searches with TV reports, police interviews, jump scares, and a grim supernatural mood.
The story treats the hotel as a trap that draws in people who want answers, fame, or a thrill. Jessica’s search uncovers Andrew Tully’s Satanic cult and a plan that turns visitors into new bait for the hotel. The film also shows how old footage, news shows, and public curiosity can spread a mystery instead of solving it. Its main themes are fear, obsession, death, false trust, and the danger of entering a place that keeps its worst secrets alive.
