THE BASEMENT follows Sam Taggart as she returns to Kingsport to learn about her mother and finally unearth a childhood blanketed in mystery. But, as she begins to put the pieces of her past together, the mysterious intentions of her hosts find Sam more, not less, sure that something is very wrong in this home.

​

Sam’s traumatic past seems to haunt an equally spooky present – and between the suspicious behaviour of her hosts and their insistence that her worries are just nerves, Sam becomes convinced that something sinister is afoot.

Over the course of this single night friendships are tested, people will do unspeakable acts and the horrifying truth behind the reunion is revealed.

Whilst Sam came to Kingsport looking for answers, will she be able to leave with them?
