She must confront not only the spirit's terrifying manifestations but also the personal trauma tied to her mother's death. As the cursed video continues to spread, Akane and her boyfriend, Takanori Ando, race against time to find a way to halt the malevolent force. Their quest leads them into a nightmarish battle with supernatural threats, pushing Akane to the limits of her psychic abilities, and challenging her to confront her deepest fears.
