Jo Seong-jae is trapped in a tantalizing nightmare. By day, he pines silently for his close friend, Hong Dohui. By night, he is visited by a specter that looks exactly like Dohui—a ghost that fulfills his deepest desires but slowly drains his vitality. As Seong-jae’s health withers away under the ghost's relentless affection, the line between his dreams and reality begins to blur, threatening to drag him into the afterlife.
When the real Dohui discovers the supernatural affliction plaguing his friend, he doesn't hesitate to intervene. However, Dohui possesses knowledge and abilities that no normal human should have. Bound by a mysterious fate and a lineage touched by the spiritual realm, Dohui's attempt to exorcise the spirit reveals a complex web of destiny that binds the two men together.
