In 1987, at the Malaysia-Thailand border, in a village at the foot of Gunung Jerai in Kedah, the villager Ah Chang is a devout believer in the local deity Datuk Gong, while his wife Ah Yan is skeptical. One day, Ah Chang drives away a snake from the altar and accidentally breaks the wall of his Siamese neighbor's house. Two weeks later, Ah Chang suddenly faints on the rice field ridge and spits out rusty nails. The villagers come up with explanations, but Ah Yan remains unconvinced and decides to search for remedies for her husband. Three months later, with Ah Chang's illness not improving, Ah Yan, out of options, goes to the cave to worship the god of Gunung Jerai. At that moment, a woman appears in the cave and tells her the legends of the Wolf Fang Cult era. In an instant, Ah Yan feels as if she is caught between the convergence and opposition of boundaries, deeply immersed in fear and the unknown. This film uses exquisite audiovisual language and masterful scene composition to portray a new aspect of Eastern mysticism.
