Finding his high profile pop-culture illustration career to be less than meaningful, Matt Busch sets out to find a more rewarding personal project. Visiting a nearby graveyard, Matt stumbles upon an old photograph of a South-American castle.



Obsessed with the photo, Matt begins to bring the castle to life with a vibrant full-color painting. At the same time, he creates sinister sketches of the tortured souls who he imagines inhabit the gothic dwelling.



While Matt creates his cryptic world in his studio, his girlfriend Sarah is confronted with phantom encounters throughout the rest of the home. The more Matt conjures the spirits through his art, the more intense these ghostly encounters become.



Eventually the art becomes so real, that Matt and Sarah find themselves manifested in the actual castle, lost in the never-ending jungles of South America. There they must find a way home, and confront the demonic spirits conjured from Matt's twisted nightmares...
