Synopsis

[edit]

Khemjira (Napatsakorn Pingmuang) is a 20-year-old born with a family curse, in which sons will die before they turn the age of twenty-one. In order to protect him, his mother gives him a feminine name. However, as his twenty-first birthday approaches, the curse appears to intensify, as an increasing number of ghosts try to harm him.

His close friend Jet (Wannakorn Reungrat), who possesses magical powers, takes him to the province of Ubon Ratchathani to seek help from his teacher, Pharan (Harit Buayoi), a young skilled shaman who seems reluctant to help.[4]
