Synopsis: A young woman working the overnight shift at a quiet neighbourhood convenience store finds her routine slowly unravelling as strange customers, unexplained disturbances, and eerie late-night encounters begin to blur the line between exhaustion and something far more sinister, forcing her to confront a creeping presence that seems to grow stronger with every passing shift.
