Have you ever wondered how the camera manages to capture a single moment in time that we long to remember? Is is purely science? A group of residents from Riverside, California beg to differ. In 1958, Bernard Dinsley receives a call from his friend in Tokyo. There is a camera for sale there. And Bernie wants it. But shortly after acquiring it, on the plane back home, Bernie discovers the first of its dark secrets. This camera can capture one's soul, whisking them away to an unparallelled photographic world, in which they might never escape. And if that wasn't enough, there is an ancient force at work - the Soul Catcher - who has lived more than a thousand years. He appears frail and weak, but the camera's creator knows the truth.

Now, a small group of captured men and women must embark on a dangerous mission: escape from their photograph and destroy the camera forever.
