Thunyaphat Phatrathinchaicherin

Ib and Boum decide to commit suicide together in Bangkok in 1997. After reneging on the promise, the vengeful ghost of Ib returns 20 years later to haunt Boum and her 15 year old daughter, Bell.

The story begins in two villages facing each other across a river in Thailand’s central region, once as close as family but now bitter rivals who haven’t wanted to look each other in the eye for over a decade. Pride chokes them—whoever gives in first is the loser. Then matters of the heart, wounded masculinity, and a fierce competition enter the picture, fanning the flames even higher. Just as the conflict between the two villages reaches its boiling point, a hidden threat begins to creep in, slowly and quietly, catching everyone off guard.
