Spoilers ahead
In 1983, a platoon of recruits on a jungle island (based on Pulau Tekong) is nearing the end of basic training when a ghost story surfaces: a mad woman who died at 23:59 would return to haunt the camp at that exact moment. Tan Tedd Chan, the platoon outcast, claims he is haunted, while Jeremy Henley Hii remains skeptical.
During a route march, Tan disappears and is later found dead. The recruits and their sergeant Kuah Mark Lee believe the death could be supernatural, but their officer insists it was an accident. Jeremy has a nightmare about Tan’s ghost, ominously warning that Chester, another recruit, will be the next to die.
