Plot[]
August 30th, 1999: A college freshman named Lily files an online application to a sorority. In what is known as a "suicide bid", she only applies to a single sorority. If she is rejected, she will ejected from the application process and forced to be an "outcast" as her best friend and roommate Helen puts it.
November 6th, 1999: Lily meets with the sorority sisters Annie, Imogene, Lucy, and Hannah. They take her to a mausoleum and tell her the tale of Guiltine, a sorority pledge who died twenty years ago during a hazing incident. As part of the pledge, Guiltine was forced to spend the night in a coffin in a cemetery, but she did not survive. The girls tell Lily that she must undergo the same treatment in order to join the sorority. They give her a box to carry with her, and tell her that when she is at her most frightened moment, she should open the box. There will also be a bell that she can ring if she gets too scared and they will let her out, but doing so forfeits her chance to join the sorority.
Lily is sealed in a coffin in an open grave and given the bell, the box, and a camera with a light. Within the hour, she already grows exceedingly frightened as the girls attempt to scare her by banging on the coffin lid with a shovel. She opens up the box, but it is filled with spiders, which exacerbate her growing fear.
It suddenly starts to rain, and muddy water begins leaking into a the coffin. The girls spot the headlights of a police car driving by and flee, for they know that hazing pranks will lead to being expelled. The water continues to pour into the coffin and Lily freaks out. She bangs on the lid of the coffin until it starts to splinter. The ghost of Guiltine smashes through the top of the coffin lid, and more rain pours in. Lily ends up dying.
September 13th, 1999: At 6:00 am, the girls return to the cemetery. The open grave is filled with water, but there is no sign of Lily. The grave is empty. The four girls suddenly lose consciousness. When they awaken, they are each trapped inside of their own personal coffin. This time however, it is not the ghost of Guiltine who appears before them, but the ghost of Lily, who has made a deal with Guiltine, and now claims the souls of the four girls so that Guiltine can have her own sorority.
