The chilling narrative begins with an ominous scene: a woman named Monica is mysteriously pulled upwards by an unseen force before plummeting to her death near a bathtub. As the question lingers about what led to this tragic fate, the focus shifts to a puzzling countdown displayed on her phone.
The story unfolds at a lively party, where Monica and her friends engage in casual festivities. Amid the laughter and camaraderie, a friend suggests a weight management app called "Slimming Countdown.” However, in their quest for entertainment, the group discovers a more sinister application: one that claims to predict the users’ time of death. Intrigued by the novelty, they all download the app, leading to a series of events that will forever change their lives.
Monica's time left on the app quickly becomes a haunting number—only three hours. As they playfully tease each other about their looming demise, Monica's boyfriend, Evan, arrives and, overwhelmed with curiosity, downloads the app too. Little did they know, the predictions would soon manifest with deadly accuracy.
As the evening progresses, Evan, intoxicated, insists on driving. Despite Monica's protests, he drives away, leaving her anxious and aware of the app’s ominous prediction. At that moment, an eerie presence begins to stalk her, heightening her panic. Monica decides to return home but discovers that the app's countdown has turned urgent—she has only seven minutes left to live.
The ensuing horror sees Monica trapped in her bathroom, lifted by an inexplicable force before she ultimately succumbs to a fatal fall. Meanwhile, Evan meets a tragic fate as well, crashing the car after succumbing to drunkenness, leading him to a hospital bed where he too reflects on the dark implications of the fatal app.
Evan's life hangs by a thread as he confides in Quinn, an intern nurse, sharing the horrifying truth about the app that predicts death. Initially skeptical, Quinn goes through the same grim experience, discovering her own countdown of two days left. As the narrative continues, Quinn's life intersects with that of Monica and Evan, amplifying the horror surrounding the app.
Quinn’s strained relationships with her sister, Jordan, deepen throughout the story, exacerbated by personal loss and family tragedy. Both sisters aim to navigate their own dark paths while countering the growing threat of the curse entwined with the ominous app.
In the face of impending doom, Quinn and a caveat of supporters emerge to confront the app's curse. They encounter a series of harrowing experiences involving demonic entities and ghostly manifestations as they seek answers and solutions. The once playful notion of a harmless app morphs into a dangerous reality as they uncover the dark nature of the countdown they inadvertently engaged with.
Quinn’s journey leads her to a priest—Father Daniel—who shares an ancient tale of a cursed prince, warning them of the dangers of trying to thwart destiny. Undeterred, the group resorts to desperate measures, seeking a way to manipulate the cursed system that has entwined their fates.
A poignant bond develops between Quinn and Bod, a companion fighting against the same fate. Their shared experiences foster love amid the horror, providing the emotional depth that resonates throughout the film. As they seek to outsmart the curse, Quinn struggles against demonic torment and harrowing sacrifices, showcasing the lengths one would go for love and survival.
In a climactic finale, the stakes reach an unbearable height as Bod, in an act of desperation, is confronted by the very ghost haunting them. Trapped in a struggle between life and death, Quinn and her sister Jordan grapple with familial bonds while facing the visage of their deceased mother.
