Storyline
Finney Shaw, a clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer known as “The Grabber” and imprisoned in a soundproof basement. A disconnected black rotary phone begins to ring—but the voices on the other end belong to the killer’s previous victims. These spectral guides offer secrets and warnings to help Finney survive. Meanwhile, his younger sister Gwen begins having terrifying psychic visions that may hold clues to locating him. Tense, haunting, and deeply emotional, this chilling horror thriller explores grief, courage, and supernatural connection.
