Synopsis
Mak and Nak are beautiful newly weds. As the couple buys a gloomy and old house from a sleezy realtor, a dark cloud is cast over this naive couple's happiness. At first, they thought that cleaning and painting the house nicely would solve their problems, but they wind up encountering a ghost. Mae Nak is Thai's legendary woman ghost with a strong grudge. Although the ghost helps the couple sort out their problems with the house and robbery, they also owe as much as they received to the ghost.
