Spoilers ahead

Two young journalists, Lanti and Bunty, set out on a southern assignment to Kirindiwela to write a feature about devil dancing and exorcist rituals for a travel publication. The legend-soaked village hums with rumors of ancient spirits, and their investigation begins with a brush with a possessed woman who hysterially pursues them. They retreat into the jungle, where a small, seemingly quiet house appears as a beacon of refuge. Inside, they meet Elaris Appuhami, a village exorcist who reveals a strange hospitality, and Bunty, ever curious, snaps a photo of a pretty young girl named Tikiri, whom Elaris presents as his domestic helper. The moment is innocent enough, but it plants the seed of trouble that will pull them deeper into the village’s dark history.
