An investigator digs through archives and finds most records on Mystic Hall erased. He uncovers a thirty-year-old case: Ethan Baldwin’s wife Candice Leed died by suicide, then at her burial became an evil spirit that killed the Baldwin sons. The Paranormal Investigation Bureau sealed the entity and left North Ridge a forbidden zone. The investigator says only registered S-rank Mr. Dunn can continue. Dunn nervously accepts, insisting he won't abandon the client. They arrive at North Ridge's sealed boundary, and Dunn now faces the immediate choice to enter and confront the sealed danger or turn back.
