Jenna (Hannah E. Flattery) and Robin (Tori Titmas) are a loving lesbian couple preparing for their upcoming wedding. To escape the stress of wedding planning, they rent a secluded rural estate for a quiet weekend getaway with their close friends and wedding party.

However, their romantic retreat quickly unravels as Jenna begins experiencing severe panic attacks and terrifying hallucinations. As the line between pre-wedding jitters and supernatural possession blurs, the house unleashes sinister malevolent forces tied to its tragic past. Facing spiraling madness and ancient curses, Robin must fight to save the woman she loves before their dream wedding becomes a deadly nightmare.
