CG5 live streams on New Year's Eve. As midnight strikes, however, his stream inexplicably goes dark, and he's frustrated and confused. While poking around inside his room, CG5 finds an odd cherry-red cassette tape that came to be there spontaneously. Upon playing, the tape displays a live video broadcast of his own bedroom. As he looks on, he finds himself transported inside the VHS player, and he goes missing from the real world. As he disappears, CG5's online identity begins to inexplicably vanish. Social networks are deleted, and profile pictures are substituted by an uninterrupted red screen. Online fans and friends begin to theorize where he could be. Later, its face is revealed to have been replaced by the cassette tape—digitally deleted and replaced by an empty container of his former self. Two of CG5's friends, Thomas and Dallin, are introduced talking about not seeing him, until CG5 shows up inexplicably in one of their bedrooms. The scene abruptly cuts to a splash of red, reminiscent of the visual trope that's tied to the cassette tape. In another sequence, CG5 shows up on another livestream, attempting to calm viewers down by saying "everything's fine," while intercut footage shows him frantic and disturbed, which means he may not have control over things. The story shifts to Rose, a preteen, who comes across the same red cassette tape while browsing through a local department store. Though not allowed to buy by her mother, Rose secretly puts the tape into her backpack and takes the tape from the store. When she plays the tape, she sees a music video. As the video ends, the screen goes to solid red while Rose remains rigid in terror. | ||||

Directly continuing from the first episode, her parents find her and attempt to restrain her—her father even destroys the VHS player, yet still, despite cutting off the power, the red glow continues to illuminate, testifying to the supernatural hold by the tape. The second episode has the plot follow camper couple Jessie and Sam on their YouTube show J&K’s Camper of Dreams. Prospecting using a metal detector, Jessie stumbles on the red cassette tape hidden in a thorny thicket. They return the curious item to view on their RV. Another music video plays, ending once again on the familiar red screen. Jessie becomes unconscious, whereas Sam himself isn’t affected—suggesting that the tape only has an impact on the one who actually inserts it within the player. The scene leaves open the possibility that the effects from the tape may stick to specific conditions or regulations. | ||||

The red cassette tape proceeds to draw more victims, with news anchors advising people to avoid it at all costs and streaming services temporarily shutting down from its increased scope. In one last hope, CG5 makes an emergency video about the tape, which gets found by Samantha. When she receives the cassette tape, she microwaves and leaves the house, which in return destroys the house leaving her homeless. As more victims are drawn, the final step is initialized, introducing us to a fake CG5 introducing its victims with a uncanny persuasive video about "Project U Move". | ||||
