The premise

A serial killer is burning away the flesh of his victims with acid, leaving only the bones behind. The police turn to Hyun-min, a former forensic sculptor adept in reconstructing faces by examining and interpreting skulls. With the victim's bones in his house, Hyun-min's daughter begins to experience disturbing visions. As he races against time to find the answers and save his daughter, the deadly truth behind these victims reveals a sinister conspiracy that threatens everyone involved.

Horror Vault's take

When a serial killer dissolves his victims' faces with acid, investigators enlist Hyun-min, a gifted forensic sculptor who can rebuild identities from bare bone. But bringing the dead into his home has unintended consequences — his young daughter begins seeing things that cannot be explained. Caught between a police manhunt and a supernatural force with its own agenda, Hyun-min must confront a darkness far older and more personal than any criminal case. This South Korean chiller weaves procedural tension with ghost-story dread to unsettling effect.
