Gary, a jaded horror fan, buys a unique VHS tape from a back-alley dealer in a quest to find the darkest and most extreme viewing experience. He soon descends into depravity, and his life unravels around him as he allows its horrors to be imprinted on his brain, when he figures out the key to seeing through the static is through pain and rage. Pain will fuel it. But his rage will claim what he loves the most. Sadly he is unaware that the real price of viewing, is trading in what little of his soul is left, only for it to be imprinted on the tape to haunt the next viewer once it bleeds him dry. This time, it will haunt the very person investigating what caused Gary to take his own life.
