During a cold night in her attic bedroom, teenager Casey (Cobb) comes across an online role-playing horror game known as the World’s Fair Challenge, and decides to participate. As she documents the changes that may or may not be happening to her, uploading them to a shared collection of online clips from other players, a mysterious figure reaches out to Casey, causing her to lose track of what is and isn’t real…
