A strange, swirling mist envelops a small-town supermarket, trapping terrified customers in a living nightmare. As the otherworldly fog spreads, the desperate survivors face a host of supernatural threats - from a beautiful girl who offers infernal seduction, to a child's demonic toy that brings unspeakable evil to life.
