Plot

College student Max Matheson survives a car accident that kills his fiancée, Kayla. As a result, he becomes emotionally disturbed and has to undergo psychological treatment with Dr. Beaumont, making some progress in overcoming the guilt over the accident. To help Max move forward, his father, Jack Matheson, reopens the Mayflower Department Store in New Orleans and persuades Max to replace the former security guard, who recently quit his job after cutting himself up on duty.

Max accepts the job and his father introduces him to the store manager Keller Landreaux, the buyer Jenna McCarty, and the vice-president of operations Ryan Parker. Before his first shift, Max sees a vision of a dead woman in a mirror and then sees Jenna's naked reflection ripping off her head. Meanwhile, Jenna is thrown through glass doors by her reflection, and a shard of glass decapitates her. Max realizes that he foresees the deaths in the mirrors. That night, he tries to find the ghost but instead sees Ryan's reflection being eviscerated. He tries to contact Ryan but gets no response. Later, Ryan is killed in the same way as his reflection.

Traumatized, Max calls his father and tells him he wants to quit the job. Right then, Max sees his father's face covered in cuts in a puddle and races to his house. Jack is almost killed by his reflection. Max hints to whoever is manipulating the mirrors that he would do anything she wants him to do if she spares his father. Max later returns to the Mayflower, but he is confronted by Detectives Huston and Piccirilli, who recounts what happened to Ryan and Jenna. Max denies any involvement and they let him get back to work, though they remain suspicious.

Max goes to the main mirror to find out who the ghost is. Suddenly, Max's reflection uses his flashlight to show him the way. Following the light, he finds a box containing an ID of Eleanor Reigns, a new employee of the Mayflower who disappeared two months ago. The light shines outside and Max finds a missing person flier for Eleanor. He reads it before contacting Eleanor's older sister, Elizabeth, to learn details of her disappearance. Together, they discover that someone had deleted the surveillance files on the night of Eleanor's disappearance in the store's computer.

Max and Elizabeth visit Henry Schow, the store's former security guard and the last person who accessed the files. Henry's mouth had been scarred by his reflection. Through Henry, they learn that Eleanor is dead. A flashback shows what happened to Eleanor. Two months prior, during the Mayflower's grand opening party, Jenna and Ryan spiked Eleanor's drink with drugs. Keller raped Eleanor while she was intoxicated and finally killed her when she tried to run away. Henry found Keller burying Eleanor's body in Mayflower's basement crawlspace. Keller orders him to delete the surveillance files to cover up his crime.

After her death, Eleanor, whose spirit is trapped in the mirror world, began seeking revenge on those responsible for her murder. She manipulated Henry's reflection to eat broken shards of glass before killing Jenna and Ryan. When Eleanor realized that Max could see her, she forced him to help her make contact with her sister by threatening his father's life. Max understands that his near-death experience from the car accident has given him the ability to see the unseeable.

Max and Elizabeth go to the Mayflower and search for Eleanor's body in the basement. They are chased by Keller after he learns that they know what happened. He nearly strangles Elizabeth, but Max saves her, thus recreating the near-death encounter and allowing Elizabeth to see Eleanor. After seeing Eleanor again, Max wrestles Keller, pushing him into the main mirror. Eleanor pulls Keller inside the mirror and kills him, leaving Max and Elizabeth in shock.

At the police station, Henry confesses to the detectives his involvement in Eleanor's murder. The interrogation room's one-way mirror starts to crack when Henry is alone, and he sees Eleanor on its reflection. He screams as the screen cuts to black.
