What’s it about?
Nat, a rational young nurse from Bangkok, returns to her rural hometown to care for her recovering mother while awaiting a job visa abroad. During a night shift at the local hospital, she encounters Mac, a teenage boy rumoured to be possessed after a failed exorcism. Certain the case is psychological, Nat searches for proof—until Mac suddenly dies, and the same disturbing symptoms begin to appear in her own mother… and in Mac’s closest friend, Kay. As fear closes in around her home, Nat is forced to confront events that defy logic. The unseen presence behind the possessions does not simply seek harm—it seems to crave belief itself. When the entity begins to draw closer, Nat is pulled into a terrifying confrontation that challenges everything she trusts about truth, faith, and reason.
