The story follows a group of four teenagers (Shawn, Adam, Erika and Jade) who try to find pieces of evidence (Encrypted journal pages, audio tapes, VHS tapes, etc.) in order to prove that the Sourwood Roadside Motel and Diner was the site of several unsolved murders of missing persons, and should not be demolished by the wealthy Kent Brickum. The four teens are aided by the ghost of Cynthia, who guides them on where to look, in between dropping hints about her own life and death as she grows closer to the group.
