His girlfriend Wang-Zhi unintentionally interrupts a witchcraft ritual for the deceased. Horrified, the group quickly leaves scene to settle in their rooms at the inn owned by Kang-Sheng's mother.

This leads to menacing encounters with ghosts and a supernatural sexual assault that borders on rape.

This is a surpassingly effective horror movie from first time director Hui Liu. But the film's notoriety stems from the tragedy of actress Wag Jie-Xi. After the release, she became seriously ill with a freak strain of leukemia. Ms Wang Jie-Xi would die on August 9, 2015 at age 25.
