Plot
Hee-jin (Nam Sang-Mi), a college student currently studying in Seoul, receives news that her 14-year-old sister So-jin (Shim Eun-Kyeong) has disappeared. Hee-jin then quickly returns home to look for her missing sister. Meanwhile, her mother prays obsessively for her daughter to return and asks Hee-jin to do so.
Veteran detective Tae-hwan (Ryoo Seung-Ryong) becomes involved in the case, but at first doesn't take things as seriously, believing So-jin is a runaway. Then another person, Jeong-mi (Oh Ji-Eun), falls down from a roof and discovers So-jin's note. The apartment's security guard Kwi-kap (Lee Chang-Jik) and apartment resident Kyeong-ja (Moon Hee-Kyeong) reveal that So-jin was possessed by a ghost. The detective and Hee-jin become confused with these news facts.
Shortly later, Jeong-mi is found dead and Det. Tae-hwon learns that Jeong-mi attended the same church as the missing girl's mother. The security guard Kwi-kap is then found dead. Meanwhile the mother continues to pray silently, while Hee-jin sees dead people in her dreams ...
