Short Synopsis
Seven youngsters are on a road trip during ghost festival where they encounter a mysterious fog. Trapped in a deserted rest station, one of them die (or dies) and there is no way out.

Long Synopsis
During the month of ghost festival, seven youngsters are on their way to attend a friend's wedding when they pass by a crash site of a deadly road accident. Unaffected by the scene, they make disrespectful gestures to the dead victim. As they continue on their journey, a mysterious fog occurs, forcing the group to pullover at a deserted rest stop where strange things happen one after another. After one of them dies, their attempts to leave fail as they seem to go around the rest stop in circles.

Thank you.

Your piece assumes that the reader knows what "ghost festival" is. I certainly don't. If it's just one of many festivals with the same theme, you need to say "a ghost festival". If you're referring to one specific festival which has that title, then it's "Ghost Festival".

Specifically happens during the ghost festival month. Not a specific one festival.
