The premise

A blind concert violinist gets a cornea transplant allowing her to see again. However, she gets more than she bargained for when she realizes her new eye can see ghosts. She sets out to find the origins of the cornea and discover the fate of its former host.

Horror Vault's take

After years of blindness, a talented violinist undergoes a corneal transplant and finally opens her eyes to the world — but the gift of sight comes with a terrifying price. Shadowy figures that no one else can perceive begin haunting her waking hours, blurring the line between her own perception and something far more sinister. Desperate to understand what she is truly seeing, she traces the mysterious history of her donor in search of answers. This Hong Kong-Thai co-production is a slow-burn ghost story that lingers on dread and atmosphere rather than cheap scares.
