Brett's wife disappears mysteriously, and he starts experiencing supernatural events that are related to a nearby building known as "The Threshold."

The movie starts with Brett Anderson (Jason London) as a traumatized ex-cop who decides to start over with his wife, Julia (Diana Lyubenova), in Bulgaria. Brett is a man looking to be free from the haunting memories that have been plaguing him since the unfortunate incident that occurred. The audience can see the visible hint of the trauma that he is living through in the way he carries himself and the actions he makes.

As Brett adjusts to his new life in Bulgaria, his wife disappears without a trace. Desperate to find his missing wife, Brett discovers "The Threshold," a mysterious building believed to be a portal to an ancient evil world where nightmares come true. Brett seeks help from Jacob (Robert Englund), who is the only living person with the knowledge of how to deal with the supernatural occurrences along with his assistant, Anastasia (Katrina Nikolova). Through Jacob and Anastasia's assistance, Brett learns that the portal can only be closed by someone who has already traveled through it and gone to the other side.

The exploration of "The Threshold" leads Brett to meet a mysterious man, Zara (Gianni Capaldi), who offers to assist Brett in his quest to find his missing wife. The closer Brett comes to finding his wife, the more danger he faces in this dark, supernatural world.
