OTHER OMEN

"Restless spirit. I will grant you serenity, and shall drive your resentment from this world."

A string of possessions targeting the newlyweds of a remote mountain village sends ripples throughout their tight-knit community.

In the face of a haunting, the few who may answer the call are known as exorcists: scholars granted the authority by the Great King Eo to release the last regrets of the unsettled dead.

A pair of exorcists are assigned to the case. Han, a mercenary professional with a sullen attitude, and Anri, a chipper woman with an unsettling gaze, answer the call. To save the girl set to be the next target, the pair must uncover this idyllic village's secrets.

…And, of course, it's unthinkable that those who serve the King would have any secrets of their own.
