The story of a family that moves into a home situated next to a graveyard. The film starts innocently with a playful exchange between a parent and child about lizards' tails growing back. However, the child's curiosity leads him to chant a strange spell in the yard, which sets off a dangerous chain of events.

Hiroko Kurasawa, a video director and former colleague of the family's father, Naoto Ihara, visits their home and witnesses the strange occurrences. As Hiroko tries to uncover the mystery behind the family's troubles, she too becomes a victim of the malevolent forces at play.
