A brutal supernatural revenge horror film that trades psychological dread for graphic violence and torture, centered on a vengeful ghost's relentless pursuit of three young women.

It was supposed to be an adventure of a lifetime as three young girls spend the summer in Thailand. But their adventure quickly becomes a nightmare when the trio unleashes the spirit of a murdered child with only one thing on her mind – revenge.
