THE NIGHTFALL EXPERIMENT

In a small town where life revolves around high school and the annual car race, four teenagers—Dipper, Max, Jenny, and Ruth—find themselves drawn into a mystery that goes beyond the mundane. After witnessing a strange flashing light in the forest during the night of the big race, they decide to investigate. Their curiosity intensifies when the race ends in a mysterious accident involving a senior named Will, who subsequently disappears.

As the teens dig deeper, they discover that the local authorities are acting unusually, with increased police presence and unidentified men in hazmat suits investigating the crash site. Undeterred, the group ventures into the forest, armed with flashlights and a sense of adventure. There, they find a strange metallic object and an even stranger mechanical door leading into the darkness.

United by their newfound sense of purpose and the enigmatic occurrences that seem to be plaguing their town, the four friends step into the unknown, ready to face whatever secrets lie ahead.
