A HAUNTING GHOST STORY ABOUT A RESTLESS SPIRIT IN SEARCH OF REVENGE. In this gripping adaptation, a wrongly executed widow has
cast a curse on her town, leading to a summer snowfall and a
devastating drought. Years later, a businesswoman’s efforts
to revive the town’s factory are disrupted when her daughter
encounters a ghostly figure, forcing the townspeople to confront
their dark past. This blend of ghost story, murder mystery,
and family drama explores themes of redemption, revenge,
and the extremes of love in an ancient Chinese folktale boldly
reimagined for today.
