Mit moves to Nong Chok, a Muslim-majority village suburb of Bangkok. He brings along May, his teenage daughter, for a fresh start after the death of her wife, due to his own carelessness. They move in into a two-storey ancient wooden house and the only message by the owner is do not throw any of the old furniture inside the house. Mit gets rid of all the talisman in the house, defying the order without realising that he has gone against the message and releasing a dark and menacing grudge by the tortured souls around the house. 

Being a minority in the village, Mot feels like everyone is out to get him. One of those people is Heem, a Muslim man who often prowls in front of the house in an untrustworthy manner. 

May tries her best to keep her father's health in check and starts making friends in the village. She even invites the monks to bless the house and builds a temple in front of the house as her father insists that the house is haunted. 

Can May safe his father from the ghost's revenge?

What's the story with the land?
