Devil's Night tells the cautionary tale of a socially awkward teenager, Tyler, who's desperate for fame and recognition in the cutthroat world of social media. Tyler's obsession with becoming an online sensation is so intense that he starts documenting his every waking moment, from the mundane to the bizarre, in the hopes of getting a viral hit. Tyler's efforts initially yield limited success, with his videos garnering a modest following but little attention from the likes of social media influencers or mainstream celebrities. Undeterred, Tyler continues to push the boundaries of what's acceptable and entertaining in his pursuit of fame. It's during one of his many online forays that Tyler stumbles upon "The Devil's Night," a mysterious and obscure documentary that seems to be more a product of underground, avant-garde filmmaking than a mainstream release. The documentary itself is a low-budget, grainy, and unsettling exploration of the darker aspects of human nature, showcasing interviews with alleged Satanists and cultists, alongside reenactments of occult rituals and ceremonies. Tyler, ever the opportunist, recognizes the potential for sensationalism and notoriety that "The Devil's Night" represents, and he sees an opportunity to create content around it that will finally propel him to online fame.

Despite the red flags, Tyler continues down a rabbit hole of darkness, drawing himself deeper into the world of "The Devil's Night." He starts to experience vivid nightmares and hallucinations, which he initially attributes to the stress of his social media obsession. However, as the events escalate, it becomes clear that something more sinister is at play. Tyler's descent into madness is accelerated by the influence of "The Devil's Night," which has awakened a dark, malevolent force within him. He starts to engage in a series of reckless and reckless behaviors, including occult rituals and ceremonies, in an attempt to tap into the power and attention-grabbing potential that he sees in the documentary. As the night wears on, and the full moon rises, Tyler's transformation into a vehicle for pure evil becomes apparent. His online persona has grown a life of its own, taking on a grotesque, satanic quality that sends shivers down the spines of anyone who dares to engage with him. Tyler's closest friends and acquaintances are horrified by his new persona and the dark energy that surrounds him.
