Plot
Something strange is going on in a convenience store. A cheerful and honest girl Nao (Hiroko Sato) works part-time, unaware of the existence of ghosts and spirits around her. Their hatred has made the store dark and forboding, and the backyard is filled with a putrid stench. Even the owner and his wife are reduced to the living dead since their humanity has been crushed. The nightmare begins as Ryoko Kagami (Kyoko Akiba) takes over the franchise project from her boss, Tejima (Susumu Terashima). Seeing the owner in ecstatic joy after hearing about Tejima’s serious accident and the owner’s wife staring at spy cameras, Ryoko and Nao try to help each other through the extraordinary situation. The ghosts and spirits start to possess certain customers: a geek is tempted by a spirit and an office worker chased is by a man in bandages. Also, a night-shift worker Komori is taken over by “a faceless man with a hooded jacket” in one of the most spine-tingling scenes in the movie. Behind a smile of a strange old lady who comforts an old Japanese doll, Ryoko and Nao will finally find the secret of the store…
