Spoilers ahead
Pil-gi has finally saved enough money to fulfill his late father’s dream of owning a house of his own. The moment he moves in, however, the new residence starts to feel less like a fresh start and more like a battleground. A poltergeist already occupies the home, insisting that the space belongs to it and attempting to frighten its new owner away. Undeterred, he clings to his goal with stubborn resolve, dialing the police, rallying a few friends to spend a night inside, and trying every exorcism ritual he can think of. Each attempt meets the same blank wall of fear and failure, echoing his determination to protect his dream despite the growing sense that the house harbors more than just memories.
