While visiting the house of Max Thompson on his birthday, Erin and her friend, April discover an old mirror hidden away in Max's attic.

As the competition heats up, the time spent by each person as invisible grows. Max begins to grow cautious of the mirror's potential danger, but Erin and Zack only seem interested in beating each other's score.
When Erin goes invisible for a long time, she comes back different. She and Zack urge Max to go invisible once more. Upon his reluctance, Max is forcefully pushed towards the mirror before his friends turn on the light. While invisible, he meets his evil reflection, who tells him Zack and Erin have been replaced.
