Synopsis: Maggie Holmes, a retired forensic pathologist, is obsessed with the paranormal activity surrounding crime scenes. She has written one fairly scientific book and is working on her second titled Bad Lands, when she runs into a roadblock. The heirs to Knight Island, site of two mass-murders, deny her access to the mansion unless she can pay them one hundred thousand dollars. When the greedy Knight clan allows the reality show Chicken Out to film on the island, Maggie plays the long shot and signs herself and her neurotic, bartending, psychic friend Vivian Storm up for the show, and when they are chosen to play the game which challenges the players to stay in the "haunted" house the longest Maggie drags Vivian kicking and screaming to the island. But Maggie never gets to do the research she wants to do because no sooner do they settle into the haunted mansion with the rest of the "cast" than the murders start. Maggie must use all her knowledge, and Vivian must tap into her "gift" to try to survive and unmask the killer, but will it be enough? And how can they hope to survive if the killer isn't human at all? Violence and strong language.
