Three chilling tales based on real stories expose the haunting depths of faith, fear, and the unknown — from a seafarer trapped on a cursed voyage, to an island plagued by a flesh-eating legend, and a young woman's battle against a legion of demons that pushes the limits of faith and sanity.

The film set in a decadent world where even death becomes a provider. In a country where a cadaver may serve as license for holding a sakla operation (illegal gambling) in wakes, people may exploit the dead in order to generate income from the profits of gambling, and possibly pay for its burial. In Oros, a funeral parlor owner sells an unidentified body to Makoy, a kasero in a saklaan, who, along with his reluctant brother, Abet, set the stage for a three-week long fake wake holding the illegal saklaan. The sakla personnel deals with everyone involved, including Linda, an impoverished homeowner, as they agree upon a fictional story which will “legitimize” the wake.
