Plot :
Opening Scene: The film begins with a couple, Aarav and Yuvika, enjoying a quiet evening at
home.
Inciting Incident: Aarav receives an unexpected visit from his old friend Aarush (also Yuvika's
ex) , who brings a mysterious, sealed wooden box as a gift.
(Doorbell rings.)
(Ben opens the door to find Shawn standing there, holding a gift box.)
Shawn: "You need to open this, Ben. It's... it will make sense after you see it."
The Box's Revelation: Aarav and Yuvika discover that the box contains a seemingly impossible
and sinister anomaly – it has no visible bottom, and a dark, ominous presence seems to lurk
inside.
(Ben takes the box and opens it. Inside, he finds a black void.)
Rachel: (Entering the room) "What's going on? What did he bring?"
Ben: "Look at this. It's... just a void. Like the center of a black hole."
Rising Tension: As they try to understand the box's nature, they experience eerie and
unsettling occurrences. Shadows and whispers hint at something malevolent on the other
side.The tension escalates as the entity inside the box begins to interact with them more
directly, creating a sense of dread and helplessness.
(He drops a pencil into the void. It disappears, only to reappear later, falling from the ceiling.)
(Ben picks up the card attached to the box and reads the handwritten letter from Shawn.)
Ben: "It says he 'doesn't have the whole thing figured out,' but if we don't look away, 'it'
doesn't move."
Rachel: (Terrified) "What does that mean? What doesn't move?"
Ben: "I don't know, Rachel. But we need to figure this out. Fast."
Climax: The couple's attempts to get rid of the box or close it fail, and the presence becomes
increasingly threatening. The boundaries between reality and the fiction blur.
(Ben and Rachel sit in the living room, the box between them, staring into the void.)
(Rachel continues to stare into the void inside the box, her fear growing. Ben grabs his keys
and phone.)
Ben: "Rachel, stay here and keep your eyes on the box. I'm going to find Shawn and get some
answers."
(Ben rushes out of the house and gets into his car. He drives while frantically trying to call
Shawn. The phone rings multiple times with no answer.)
Shawn: "It was meant for Rachel to open. The box... it’s drawn to her. You need to get back to
her, now!"
(Ben drives back as fast as he can. When he arrives, the house is transformed. Water and goo
cover the floors and walls, and Rachel is nowhere to be seen.)
Ben: "Rachel? Rachel! Where are you?"
(Ben searches through the house, calling out for Rachel. He opens a door to find a room filled
with dark, twisted shapes moving in the shadows.)
(Ben stares in horror as he realizes the creatures are advancing toward him. He turns to run
but finds himself trapped between two groups of creatures.)
(One of the creatures reaches for the light switch. Ben watches in terror as the room plunges
into darkness.)
Resolution: The film concludes with a chilling and ambiguous ending, leaving the fate of Aarav
and Yuvika uncertain and the true nature of the box unresolved.
