In Swinton, Louisiana, police officer Kevin Ganning pulls over a green van for not having a license plate.

When Ganning notices a bloody rag, he aggressively demands the driver to exit the vehicle.

12 hours earlier, Officer Renee Lomito-Smith is being cleared to return to active duty after an altercation with a civilian and is paired with rookie Danny Holledge.

Lomito-Smith finds the dash-cam footage in the police car, where she witnesses Ganning's beating from an unknown entity.

Sergeant Kesper tells them the footage has been destroyed, long before Lomito-Smith and Holledge had arrived.

Lomito-Smith and Holledge answer the call for help and change their route to provide assistance to Roberts and Birke.

He fires his gun attempting to escape; accidentally killing the store clerk as well as his partner.

The medical examiner explains how the body is damaged in the most unusual way but points out victims had their teeth knocked out.

Later that evening, she reviews the video from the phone, noticing the entity behind Taneesha and the man holding her hostage.

She only finds articles of Demarco's death alongside photos of Officers Ganning, Roberts, Holledge, and Penda.

The grief-stricken Renee finds a note left on the sink, "I'm sorry, Danny", along with a flash drive.

It reveals Holledge's body cam footage of himself and officers Ganning, Roberts, and Penda during a police stop.

Kesper pulls his gun on Renee and tells her the incident best left covered and it will do more harm than good.

As she walks inside the building at gun point, Officer Penda emerges from his car and follows behind them.

The entity is revealed as Demarco's vengeful spirit, who beats up Sergeant Kesper and knocks his teeth out.

Demarco's spirit finally takes his revenge; removing Penda's innards from his body and impaling him onto a large pipe.
