During a lively house party in Fairfield, California, Brandon Sinclair decides to reconnect with a spirit named David using a Ouija board. This was an attempt to rekindle his connection with the supernatural alongside his ex-girlfriend, Linda Brewster.

Jim Morar, Linda's current boyfriend, dismisses the idea of David's presence, setting off a chain of supernatural events. The spirit reacts violently by slashing the tires of Brandon's car, signaling the dark turn that their lifestyle is about to take.

Despite the earlier chaos, Linda seeks the Ouija board once more, hoping to locate her lost engagement ring with the help of David. This decision marks the beginning of her descent into a deeper connection with the spirit world.

Meanwhile, at Jim's workplace, disaster unfolds as his co-worker Lloyd dies in a fall due to an accident involving drywall. This incident adds to Jim's growing stress and impacts his already shaky relationship with Linda.

As Linda continues to reach out to David, she starts to experience disturbing symptoms, such as nausea and heightened emotional turmoil. This raises alarm among those around her, hinting at the dangerous influence of the spirit.

Desperate to rid themselves of David's spirit, Brandon consults psychic medium Zarabeth Crawford to conduct a séance. During this event, David's true identity as a ten-year-old boy is revealed, inadvertently deepening Linda's bond with him.

Tragedy strikes again when Zarabeth is found murdered at her home, her body brutally discarded. Brandon believes that David is behind this horrific act, raising the stakes of the supernatural occurrences stemming from the Ouija board.

Jim witnesses a shocking scene when Linda thrashes violently against a wall, leaving her in an unconscious state. At the hospital, doctors confirm that she is not pregnant, amplifying the tension and confusion within their relationship.

Jim and Brandon delve into David's backstory, learning that he drowned in a nearby lake a decade prior. Their investigation evolves into a quest to sever Linda's painful connection to David and to confront the dark spirit that haunts her.

As they attempt to communicate with David again, the duo uncovers that Linda is actually being tormented by Carlos Malfeitor, a malevolent spirit linked to a violent history. This revelation introduces an even greater threat into their lives.

A pile of fishing barrels collapses at the dock, leaving Jim unconscious from a vicious accident. This near-death experience fuels his determination to confront the supernatural forces challenging his and Linda's safety.

In a tragic turn of events, Brandon is brutally attacked with a hatchet by Malfeitor, marking a climactic confrontation with evil. This loss weighs heavily on Jim as he mourns his friend's death amid the chaos.

Returning from the hospital, Linda falls victim to a vicious assault from Malfeitor's spirit. Jim is left to face the terrifying reality of Linda being possessed, battling both her and his own fears in a desperate fight for survival.

In a moment of frantic chaos, Linda uses a fire poker to strike down Lieutenant Dewhurst, who mistakenly accuses Jim of being the perpetrator of recent crimes. This act showcases the desperate measures they are forced to take against the dark forces at play.

In a final act of bravery and desperation, Jim destroys the Ouija board, severing the connection to their turmoil. Following this pivotal moment, Jim and Linda emerge relieved yet forever changed, deciding to start anew and eventually marry, despite the lingering shadows of their past.

As Jim and Linda attempt to return to their normal lives, their landlady, Mrs. Moses, finds the Ouija board while cleaning the house. Her curiosity triggers an ominous response from the board, suggesting that the evil spirit's influence might not be entirely vanquished.
