Three siblings find an ancient vinyl that gives birth to bloodthirsty demons that run amok in a Los Angeles apartment building and thrusts them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.

In this story, siblings Teresa and Jessica, along with Jessica's boyfriend Caleb, are vacationing at a lakeside cabin when a seemingly sick Jessica scalps Teresa and decapitates Caleb before levitating above the lake. Meanwhile, guitar technician Beth visits her sister Ellie, a tattoo artist and single mother to teenagers Danny and Bridget, and child Kassie, in their condemned Los Angeles apartment complex. The building is shaken by an earthquake, and Danny discovers a concealed chamber. The priest's research in secret leads to the summoning of demonic entities known as Deadites.

Ellie is possessed by an unseen force, and her family is left to protect her children. Ellie's neighbors help her escape, but they find the staircase collapsed, the elevator is damaged, and they are unable to access the fire escape. Ellie tricks Kassie into unlocking the door before attacking her. Bridget becomes possessed from her wound, and Beth and Kassie impale her through the head with a broken broom handle.

Ellie, Bridget, and Danny merge into a multi-limbed creature known as the Marauder, which attacks the siblings. The combined weight causes the elevator to plummet to the ground floor, allowing Beth and Kassie to flee into the parking lot. Ellie's severed head taunts Beth, who kicks Ellie's head into a wood chipper. Beth and Kassie escape the building together.
