About the Story
Young friends Laine and Debbie are playing with a Ouija board, stating a basic rule that you must never play alone. Years later, high school senior Laine’s (Olivia Cooke) longtime childhood friend, Debbie (Shelley Hennig), burns a Ouija board in her fireplace. The board reappers in the bedroom, then Debbie kills herself. Laine and Debbie’s boyfriend, Pete (Douglas Smith), later discover the antique Ouija board in Debbie’s room and try to use it to say “Goodbye” to Debbie.
When the curious teen begins asking questions and stumbles upon the mystery of Debbie’s death, Laine discovers that the board’s resident spirit calls itself DZ and doesn’t want these sessions to end. As stranger and stranger things start happening, Laine enlists her younger sister, Sarah (Ana Coto), to fall down the rabbit hole alongside her and help discover who DZ is and what it wants from them. Joining the sisters in their dangerous game are Pete, Laine’s friend Isabelle (Bianca A. Santos) and Laine’s boyfriend, Trevor (Daren Kagasoff).
