After strangling their former classmate to death, they decide to host a dinner party in the same room, using a chest as a macabre centerpiece. As the evening commences, their friends, family, and their former classmate's father, unsuspecting of the sinister secret around them, begin to arrive.

Tension builds as Brandon and Phillip challenge themselves to see if anyone becomes suspicious of the hidden body. The audience is left on the edge of their seats, wondering if their meticulous plan can truly remain foolproof. As secrets and suspicions arise, the film delves into the psychological machinations of the two murderers and the moral dilemma faced by those who unwittingly become part of their charade.
