The story of Seat Edge follows a young vlogger who attempts to create distinctive content to gain recognition. His videos become targets of online trolling, and during this phase, he falls in love. Following a mistake that leads to a breakup, he decides to visit a dangerous and feared ghost town to film a ghost-hunting video, despite opposition from his friends. The narrative focuses on whether he enters the ghost town, regains his relationship, and succeeds as a YouTube vlogger.
