In order to find his sister Lin Wan, who has been missing for three years, Lin Zhou sets foot alone into Guiyin Village, a forbidden place in the mountains that is unmarked on the map.
The village is shrouded in white fog all year round. The lanes are slippery and paper money is everywhere. The villagers are silent and bow their heads. Twelve rules for survival are engraved on the stone tablet at the entrance of the village.
"After entering the village, you are not allowed to look back."
"When you hear someone calling your name in the alley, don't answer or look back."
"There is no one alive in the village, everything you see is empty."
Lin Zhou thought that as long as he stayed for seven days, he would be able to find his sister's whereabouts and leave alive.
But on the first night, he heard his sister's voice in the old house.
She leaned against his ear and called his name softly.
He didn't dare to respond.
Don't dare to look back.
Later he discovered that there were no living people in the village, and the rules were not to save people, but to trap them.
The villagers are fake, the girl who leads the way is fake, and even the three years of life in his memory may have been tampered with by the village.
Guiyin Village is not a place.
It is alive.
It eats fear, obsession, and the souls of loved ones who refuse to let go.
And the red coffin hanging on the treetop was waiting for him to enter.
Because he didn't come here by mistake.
He was deceived step by step by his sister's obsession.
