Synopsis/Details
MARK, ELLA, and JUSTIN find a shattered mirror in an old alleyway that has been rumored to let one alter their own reality. The trio takes the mirror and its broken pieces back to Justin and Ella's run-down apartment. There, the siblings argue while Mark helps Ella glue the mirror back together.
Ella volunteers to be the first to participate in the mirror ritual and locks herself in her closet. The ritual causes the mirror to create an evil version of Ella. Ella tells it that she doesn't want to be around her family and friends any longer, and it takes her.
Mark wakes up in a new reality where Ella never existed. Justin retrieves him and takes him to the affluent house his parents bought when they won the lottery. Justin shows Mark the mirror, but Mark begins to see odd reflections and movement.
Justin participates in the mirror ritual next. His evil version appears and Justin tells it that he wants things to go back to how they were pre-lotto. It sets the closet - and Justin - on fire before absorbing him into the mirror.
Mark wakes up a third time in another reality, scarred and injured from a tragic accident that resulted in Ella and Justin's deaths. Mark participates in the ritual, and the mirror makes him relieve the traumatic moment. Afterwards, his evil reflection embraces him and pulls him into the mirror's dark abyss.
Mark, Ella and Justin find the mirror in the old alleyway once more. They look different from their original incarnations, and gather the pieces as they had before to begin the cycle anew.
