Synopsis/Details
Memo Villarias, famous for having survived the kidnapping of infamous serial killer Tom Hooper, is struggling to promote his new work (a photography book titled “The Book of the Dead”). Strange occurrences happen before and after he learns of the grave robbing of his dead brother, Demian (who was one of Hooper’s victims). He comes to realize that he is being haunted by little Demian. Demian uses various means to torture Memo including the possession of inanimate objects and people, while also raising a small army of the dead consisting of other child victims of Tom Hooper. With the help of his sister, Salma, Memo attempts to learn the reason for the haunting and to put a stop to it before more of his loved ones can be hurt in the crossfire. He’s forced to face the consequences of his past actions that have built the life he now leads..
