Prana, an investigative journalist at an online news portal, always experiences rejection by the editors because his writings take a viewpoint that is too superstitious. He who is destined to be able to see the wandering spirits also regularly posts his mystical experiences on the medium of a podcast which he gives the title Journal of Terror. It was from this podcast that he met Nissaka, a beautiful painter who recently started seeing apparitions frequently in her studio. The similarity in personality brings their relationship closer together, and Prana tells Nissaka more and more mystical stories. Unexpectedly, this closeness actually leads the two of them to a reality that shakes reason.
