Alon, a local teenager, watches a production crew of an American documentary-style reality show set up on Kisapmata (called the "Godseye" by the Americans), an island off the coast of the Philippines rumored to be cursed. 2 producers offer to pay them to be the crew's tour guide since other locals have refused to set foot on the island. Within minutes of their arrival, a sinkhole appears, revealing a mummified corpse entwined within a balete tree growing underground. Rattled, the showrunner explains to Alon the purpose of the show: to investigate the island’s legend of a Dreamer god that supposedly grants believers unspeakable powers in exchange for 8 sacrifices. A mysterious journal they find on the island lends credit to the curse and poses a sinister riddle. As the crew falls victim to the island’s curse one-by-one, Alon must figure out a way to stop the Dreamer before it destroys more than just the island.
