The series poses as a melting pot of various storytelling methods. The patients’ desperation to save themselves and, more importantly, each other, results in an attempt to recreate the ritual, yielding catastrophic effects.

The central plot commences when Ilonka uncovers evidence that a former Brightcliffe patient underwent a ritual that healed her of her illness. It requires a promise that when the angel of death comes for them, they will send a sign to the patients to let them know they are at peace. The secret organization has existed for generations and serves to connect current patients to past ones. They join The Midnight Club, a group that gathers in the library at the stroke of midnight to tell horror stories.

There, she meets and connects with a diverse group of adolescents, each suffering from a distinct terminal illness. She takes up residency at Brightcliffe Hospice, an old mansion repurposed as a hospice center for teenagers. The series follows Ilonka (Iman Benson), a high school senior diagnosed with terminal thyroid cancer. The world highly anticipated Flanagan’s new creation, excited to experience another eerie story coupled with a heartfelt central message. 7, based on a 1994 novel by Christopher Pike.
