Baek-On and Ho-Yeon, hired exorcists, journey across the nation in pursuit of grudges and specters. Every encounter illuminates tales of despair and bereavement, emotions they know all too well. Nevertheless, occasionally the viciousness of malevolent spirits pales in comparison to the heartlessness of human beings.
