“Horror is awakened. Dark rituals descend. Death… is not the end.”
Tham searches for his brother Tae in order to deliver the news of their parents' passing. Tae is ordained as a monk at a temple on Don Sing Tham Island. On arrival, Tham meets Jate, the grandson of the former abbot. Jate makes hoon payon, enchanted effigies of the dead. Tham learns of a rumour that Tae vanished after murdering the abbot.
