**Synopsis:**
Jude Mathew, a curious and ambitious filmmaker, arrives at an isolated mansion in the woods to find inspiration for his next story. As he explores the mansion and its eerie surroundings, he stumbles upon a mysterious memory card in the forest. When he views the files on the card, he discovers a series of beautiful photos and a selfie of a woman named Deepa Menon, a travel photographer who once stayed at the mansion for a project. Intrigued, Jude delves deeper into her story.
Through a series of unsettling dreams, Jude learns that Deepa disappeared mysteriously after taking photographs in the nearby woods. The local guide shares a chilling tale of a mentally ill girl named Elara, who was said to have murdered and eaten people before being buried in the forest. The villagers believe that disturbing her grave unleashes a deadly force, one that might have claimed Deepa.
One night, after a thunderstorm, Jude experiences a terrifying encounter when Deepa seemingly appears alive and well in the mansion's grounds. In shock, Jude questions her, but when he blinks, she vanishes. He rushes to the guide, but she remains unresponsive, as though in a trance. Confused and desperate, Jude races outside, only to find himself caught in a bizarre time loop, reliving his first arrival at the mansion.
The twist reveals that Jude is not experiencing these events as he thought. Instead, he is lying in a dark room, monitored by machines, as a scientist observes him. Jude's entire journey has been a construct in a controlled experiment. The boundary between reality and illusion blurs, leaving him questioning his existence and the true nature of the mansion’s haunted past.
