On Halloween night, an invitation-only masquerade gala at the infamous Roux Mansion promises glamour, mystery, and the ultimate viral experience. For global pop superstar Lila Voss, it's a chance to reinvent her image. For paranormal vlogger Sasha Reyes, it's an opportunity to expose one of New Orleans' most chilling legends. And for true-crime podcaster Tessa "Tee" Moreau, it's the story of a lifetime. But when the clock strikes midnight, the mansion seals itself shut. Ancient masks awaken. Hidden passageways shift. Ghostly apparitions stalk the halls. As guests begin disappearing one by one, Lila, Sasha, and Tessa uncover the truth behind the Masque Curse—a centuries-old tragedy tied to the spirit of Celeste Roux, a betrayed heiress murdered during a masquerade ball in 1857. With the mansion feeding on fear, guilt, and broken relationships, the trio must navigate haunted ballrooms, cursed mirrors, secret chambers, and supernatural illusions that force them to confront their darkest secrets. Joined by urban explorer Malik Carter, eccentric ghost hunter Jasper "Jinx" LeBeau, influencer Nico Vega, and spiritual medium Raven DuBois, they race to solve the mystery before the full moon reaches its peak and the curse claims them forever. In a night where every mask hides a secret... ...the truth may be the most dangerous thing of all.
