Plot Summary

When Josh Ockmann enters a dark university library hoping to find a man named Douglas Ziegler, he is attacked by a humanoid spirit that sucks the life force out of him. Some days later, Josh’s girlfriend, Mattie Webber, visits his apartment, seeing evidence that it has not been well kept. Josh tells Mattie to wait in the kitchen while he walks off. While waiting, she finds Josh’s pet cat locked in a closet and dying from severe malnutrition. But when she rushes to tell him, she finds that he has committed suicide by hanging himself with an Internet cable.

Mattie and her friends begin to receive online messages from Josh asking for help but assume that Josh’s computer is still on and that a virus is creating the messages. Mattie learns that Josh’s computer has been sold to Dex McCarthy, who finds several strange videos on the computer. Mattie receives a package that Josh mailed two days before his death. Inside are rolls of red tape and a message telling her that the tape keeps “them” out, although he does not know why. Later, Dex visits Mattie and shows her video messages that Josh was sending to Ziegler. Josh had hacked Ziegler’s computer system and then distributed a virus.

This virus had unlocked a portal that connected the realm of the living to the realm of the dead. Josh believed he had coded a counter to the virus and wanted to meet Ziegler at the library. Josh’s counter-program is found on a memory stick taped inside the PC case with red tape. Dex and Mattie visit Ziegler and find his room plastered in red tape. They believe that the red tape keeps the spirits out. Ziegler tells them of a project he worked on where he found “frequencies no one knew existed”.
