A supernatural slasher built on Japanese urban legend, where teenagers face a vengeful ghost's methodical, paranoia-inducing curse.

A group of teenagers unleash a curse when they use haunted public lockers in Shibuya. Supposedly, if you leave a gift in one of the lockers you will be lucky in love. However, the results are anything but lucky as a creepy female ghost with long black hair soon shows up to kill them off one by one.
