Korean shaman Hwa-rim (Kim Go-eun) and her assistant Bonggil (Lee) are sought out by the wealthy Korean American Park family when their newborn son falls ill. Hwa-rim determines that the illness is, in fact, a curse known as a “Grave’s Call,” in which a vengeful ancestral spirit haunts the family. The father, Jiyong (Kim Jae-chol), agrees to let Hwa-rim and Bong-gil relocate the remains of his grandfather that appear to be causing the family’s plight. With added help from Hwa-rim’s colleagues Feng shui master Kim Sang-deok (Choi) and mortician Yeong-geun (Yoo), the remains are removed. However, the relocation goes awry, and the vengeful spirit is released to wreak havoc on the Park bloodline.
