Rookie cop Jessica volunteers to guard an old police station on the last night before it is shut down or demolished. Her father, who was also a cop, killed his colleagues and himself at this very police station. Thus, Jessica's night shift becomes a challenge/opportunity for her to get to "know" or "understand" what er father did/why he did it.
During the night shift, a homeless man, a pig and a prostitute show up at the station for no reason whatsoever. The homeless man makes his way into the building, rambles nonsense and Jessica is arrest by Jessica. He then manages to get out of his cell - and the rest of the movie. The prostitute first gets medical assistance by Jessica, then asked to leave the building - also never to be seen in the movie again. The pig however is allowed to stay until he fails to dodge a bullet.
The station is then invaded by members of a demonic cult, with poorly explained connections to her parents. The members seem to be a unique never-seen-before mix of demons, monsters and ghosts. On a USB stick, found footage explains that some of them were arrested and interrogated by Jessicas father, presumably when they still were alive/humans.
Jessica is then constantly trying to either kill or run away from the demonic monster ghosts and/or has nightmarish visions of cultish rituals (it's hard to tell what). Despite all kinds of bad, evil and supernatural things, Jessica never makes any attempt to leave the building. A rational person would probably think: "Hm.. something bad is going on in this building, so let's get out". Well, not rookie cop Jessica! Covered in blood she tried to fight or flee from all kinds of evil creatures until the predictable end comes. Either the Police Academy never taught her that bullets don't kill demonic monster ghosts, or she overslept that class.
To be fair, she actually she tried once to exit the building but somebody had locked the doors using a chain. However a little later, her mom shows up at the police station using chain-free front door, but for some unexplained reason, Jessica missed that opportunity to escape.
This movie deserves to be locked-up in a holding cell in an abandoned police station scheduled for demolition.
