Spoilers ahead

In 1907, Dr. Paul Eswai is dispatched to the quiet village of Karmingam to perform an autopsy on Irena Hollander, a woman who died under mysterious circumstances in an abandoned church. Monica Schufftan, a medical student who has just returned to visit her parents’ graves, is assigned as his witness. During the autopsy, they uncover a silver coin embedded in Hollander’s heart, a macabre detail that hints at forces beyond a simple medical event.

The locals cling to old medicinal practices and superstitions, claiming that Karmingam is haunted by the ghost of a young girl who curses those she visits. After Nadienne, the innkeeper’s daughter, is visited by the spectral child, Ruth, the village witch, performs a ritual to reverse the curse.
