Synopsis

Deep in the mountains of western Hunan lies Yin Coffin Village, a place no one dares enter.

The village has a deadly rule: enter the coffin before you die. Let a corpse take your place, and borrow the shade to prolong your life.

Coffins ring, corpses stir, skin falls away, and lives end.

Chen Jiuguan rings his bell to hold the coffins shut, breaks fate with nails, and seals the coffins with blood.

He has only one thing to do:

Return the yin coffins to the earth, let those who were made to take another's place rest in peace, and make sure the evil art of borrowing lives is lost forever.
