When a grieving mechanic restores a forgotten 1960s red coupe, he doesn’t realize he’s resurrecting more than just steel and chrome—he’s awakening something that should have stayed buried. Years later, the car finds new owners: a young couple planning their dream wedding, unaware of the vehicle’s tragic past. What begins as a symbol of love quickly spirals into a chilling series of events, connecting strangers through unexplainable encounters, eerie memories, and deadly consequences.
