They learn about an abandoned hotel that was initially a mental asylum for the criminally insane but was almost destroyed in a fire.
With three people dead, the remaining four find an abandoned Jeep which they use to try to get out of the hotel amidst ghostly apparitions.
After a drive through misty areas, the group escapes, only to find that they are back at the door of Room 3046.
The group learns that when the hotel was a mental asylum, a possessed girl named Maya was admitted after she murdered her entire family.
Believing it is an intuition, they decide to go back to the same room to understand Nina's extrasensory perception.
They see that the hotel was a mental asylum and find that the source of energy for Maya's spirit is in a shock machine.
The film ends with the entrance doors of the hotel opening at dawn and a traumatized Nina, the only survivor, walking outside.
