Synopsis -

Sycamore Theatre is famed by Melbourne locals as one of the local haunted hotspots. Many ghost hunters have entered the theatre eager to make a case for the existence of the supernatural, however, aside from a few flickering lights and creaking floorboards, no-one has found anything that couldn’t just be blamed on the theatre's ill-kept age. Things change however when some ‘new on the scene’ ghost-hunting Youtubers, Blair, Cole, Elle and Riley book the place to film an episode for their show. For some strange reason, the ghost of the theatre is no longer lurking in the shadows, but instead has entered the limelight. It's up to this motley crew of university hobbyists to solve the mystery of the woman haunting the theatre, using both their own detective skills and Blair's uncanny ability to see into the woman's past.
