A dedicated teacher in a remote Davao del Norte school performs a traditional healing ritual for a sick student. His deep chant awakens a powerful encanto from the surrounding forest, which demands a soul exchange. Soon, the teacher's body begins a terrifying merge with the ancient trees, his screams lost to the wind. This creepy tale of Filipino horror unfolds in the isolated Mindanao countryside, where faith and folklore collide. The Philippine ghost story becomes all too real as the paranormal entity claims its prize. What price will be paid for crossing into the spirit world?
