The film follows Mun (Angelica Lee), a young violinist who has been blind since childhood. After receiving a corneal transplant, she regains her sight. But the new vision comes with a terrible side effect: she begins to see unsettling, ghostly figures—specifically, a shadowy, emaciated figure and the echoes of a violent, sudden death. Teaming up with his psychiatrist (Lawrence Chou), she tries to unravel the identity of her donor and why their final moments are now haunting her.
