The premise
Ib and Boum decide to commit suicide together in Bangkok in 1997. After reneging on the promise, the vengeful ghost of Ib returns 20 years later to haunt Boum and her 15 year old daughter, Bell.
Horror Vault's take
In the aftermath of Bangkok's financial crisis, a desperate pact between two young women ends with only one keeping her word. Two decades later, the survivor has built a new life — but the dead do not forget. When a vengeful presence begins closing in on both mother and teenage daughter, the sins of the past refuse to stay buried. This Thai supernatural chiller weaves grief, guilt, and ghostly terror into a deeply personal haunting.
