Riley (Odessa A’zion) is a recovering addict who is having trouble staying on the wagon, even while living with her brother Matt (Brandon Flynn). With her new boyfriend Trevor (Drew Starkey) she breaks into the warehouse of the wealthy Roland Voight (Goran Visnjic), intending to steal his riches, but only finding a mysterious box. It turns out to be a puzzle that changes shapes, and conjures a race of horrific freaks called the Cenobites, which includes the infamous Hell Priest “Pinhead” (Jamie Clayton). Between Riley’s weaknesses and the Cenobites strength, a clash of wills is about to begin.
