A group of friends goes to an abandoned warehouse to prove the existence of the "Cartoon Cat," a supposed creature. The group is initially unaware of the cat's true nature, but as they progress, they discover that it is not as harmless as they thought. The group's leader, who has attempted this before and failed, knows more about the cat and the warehouse than he lets on. As the night progresses, the group faces various challenges and obstacles, including the need to keep a fire lit to ward off the cat. Ultimately, they set a trap for the cat and manage to take a picture of it, but the cat escapes at the end.
