Overview

Riya, a talented young dancer, was chosen to lead the total lunar eclipse ritual to maintain the balance between the human world and the spirit world. This aroused the jealousy of the other dancers, Noni and her sister Sara, who went so far as to scatter the frangipani flowers during the ritual. This is where the disaster began, with the rise of a demon that possessed Sara’s body.
