Plot Synopsis
In Los Angeles, the renowned shaman Hwa-rim (Kim Go-eun) and her protégé Bong-gil (Lee Do-hyun) are commissioned with a hefty sum to meet the enigmatic descendants of a household afflicted by a peculiar illness. Sensing the ominous aura surrounding the ancestral grave, Hwa-rim urges for its relocation. The best geomancer in the business, Sang-duk (Choi Min-sik), and mortician Young-geun (Yoo Hai-jin), lured by the scent of money, join the team.
“You all understand… what happens if we mess with the wrong grave.”
The mysterious grave, situated in an unapproachable sacred ground, holds dark secrets. Though Sang-duk senses an ominous presence and initially rejects the proposal, Hwa-rim’s persuasion ultimately initiates the exhumation, leading to a journey where the team must confront both supernatural forces and their own fears.
Those that must remain buried have surfaced.
