"Hello there! Hellfiredante here, back with another video..."

Dante Anderson has spent a decade building his successful "let's play" video channel by playing horror games and never running away from what scares him. His bravery - or stupidity - has attracted nearly thirty-two million subscribers to his channel. Ever the opportunist, he's always on the lookout for new opportunities to branch out. Afterall, for content creators, the best way to stay relevant is to keep the audience engaged with new material. While playing video games with his friends, Dante sees potential in going from ghost hunting online to ghost hunting in real life for entertainment.

When Dante and his friends head to the mountains of Japan in search of the kuchisake onna, the legendary slit-mouthed woman, they get more than expected. Not only do they learn more about the story behind the slit-mouthed woman, but they also receive an extensive lesson in yokai, spirit monsters from Japanese folklore. If Dante comes face-to-face with actual ghosts, will he finally learn to run away?
