A grieving mother uses ancient spiritual means to summon her late son back to the living world, unaware that his soul has already transmigrated to a distant community to finish his unfulfilled lifespan as a supernatural wraith. In this new existence, the young man builds a completely fresh identity and complicates the boundaries of the afterlife by falling deeply in love with a local woman. As the mother's persistent rituals pull at his spirit, he is caught in a tragic dilemma between the unfinished destiny he is trying to live out and the inescapable ties of his past life.
