When a desperate woman strikes a deal with a powerful demon to have a child, she gives birth to a baby girl... but the villagers believe she's half-human, half-demon. When pregnant women begin dying and their unborn children vanish, fear turns to hysteria - and the truth behind the "reborn" child will shake the entire village.

Following her mother’s death, manga artist Sorya travels to her ancestral home in Phnom Penh, with hopes of reconnecting with her distant family and using the visit as inspiration for her work. All goes well initially. Renting an apartment in Metta, a rundown Khmer Rouge-era housing complex, her visit to her maternal relatives finds her welcomed with open arms. But Sorya’s waking hours in the apartment and its surroundings are punctuated by terrifying, bloody visions, almost as though she were a conduit for horrors of the past wanting to seep into the present.
