Plot

A young man named Chris (Ananda Everingham), and several years later, a woman named Zoe (Karen Mok), undergo a Thai ritual of lying in a coffin, which is supposed to ensure long life and banish bad luck. The ritual is also seen as a solution to diseases like liver cancer. The movie is not continuous as it shows scenes of the past and the present. Chris wakes and is brought to the hospital where doctors say he suffers from hallucinations. Chris has a current girlfriend whom he wants to marry. However, the ex-girlfriend tries to kill the current girlfriend. The woman on the other hand is rid of her lung cancer, however is haunted by her boyfriend, Jack, whom she was supposed to marry. The woman consults an expert in the paranormal, and later Chris, to try to solve her supernatural difficulties.
