Refined synopsis

It is a dark, cold night in Saffron Walden and unsurprisingly, a group of teenage boys are about to go out for what they hope will be an enjoyable night. The three friends, including Xiangyu Ge, are on their way to the house of their friend, Eric White, of whom they have organized to knock for. The boys are in full voice on their way to the house and are optimistic about the prospects of the night ahead. When knocking at the door several times, there is no answer and the boys presume there has been a change of plan with Eric. However, the front door suspiciously opens but after checking their appears to be no-one inside. One of the friends, Xiangyu, notices that the only light in the house is the bathroom light, and so goes up there to check if there is anyone there. The other boys, being rude, typical teenagers, make themselves welcome in the house meanwhile. Xiangyu, simultaneously, shockingly finds Eric, but he is in a very serious state in the bathroom but is unable to call for help due to the fact that he is in shock. The bathroom door then slams shut and thus concludes the opening.

Xiangyu eventually manages to communicate and goes to the friends downstairs in seek of help. They don't believe him as when they go, this time as a group to check the bathroom as a group, they don't find anything unusual. The friends begin to question Xiangyu, but are still uneasy about what he is telling them, and so leave the house quickly. It is very difficult for the friends to talk to each other as their friendship becomes masked with confusion and distrust. All of the friends agree to never go back to the house and to wait to see if Eric turns up for school as they all, Xiangyu included, are not sure about what happened. However, all of the former friends begin to see similar (what seem to be) hallucinations the day after, when they go back to their own houses, in various rooms and even at school. It soon becomes apparent to the former friends that they are the only ones who keep seeing Eric's dead body. They are continually tormented until it becomes clear that some of them cannot take anymore suffering. The former friends are taken back to the same Friday night where they knock for Eric and this time, he answers the door and joins them.
