Franco, an urban exploration YouTuber, is editing his latest video in the dark when he spots a dead pixel in the footage. He tries to fix it, but the glitches keep multiplying. Frustrated, he heads downstairs to grab a beer. In the dimly lit stairwell, red dots begin to float in the darkness, like dead pixels... and they seem to be watching him. Is it just exhaustion, a trick of his eyes... or has something slipped out of the screen to stalk him in the shadows?
