Set in the Dinh Dynasty of the 10th century, the period film follows seven loyal warriors who must race against time to transport 99 coffins to different parts of the kingdom as a decoy to the enemy and keep the final resting place of the first emperor a secret.
Returning home after years abroad, a man finds that the locals are now consumed by a desire to leave. As a feverish contagion of unnamed dread spreads among them, young people mysteriously vanish.
