Synopsis

A thirteen-year-old girl Suan sees a dark door that no one else can. After the death of her beloved sister, Suan enters the door and brings back the ghost of her sister from beyond the afterlife. However, as a result, Suan loses most of her memories from the past. When Suan goes back to school, she becomes best friends with a new girl named Jaein. Jaein complains about not having her own room at her aunt’s place where she is staying, so Suan invites Jaein to stay with her family. Suan’s mother is disturbed by Jaein’s startling resemblance to her dead daughter. One day, Suan and Jaein accidentally open a door which has been kept locked and behind it, they encounter the ghost of Suan’s sister. The ghost covets Jaein’s body while Suan regains fragments of her memories—and once again, the dark door begins to reveal itself to Suan.
