In this supernatural thriller from Japan, Hinako is a young woman with
a successful career as a fashion designer who pays a visit to the village
on the island of Shikoku where she grew up. Hinako learns that her best
friend from childhood, Sayori, the daughter of the village's spiritual
leader, died in a mysterious drowning accident. She also discovers that
another childhood friend, Fumiya, is still living on the island, and as
they renew their friendship, Hinako finds herself sexually attracted to
Fumiya. They're both startled when Sayori's spirit begins appearing to
them, and they begin researching Shikoku folklore; they discover that the

mother is trying to open the path so her daughter can return to this realm.
