In Japan, summer is the season for ghost stories…Summer is when the pot of hell opens.

Minami, a horror writer and expert in the supernatural, is struggling to get started on her next book when her friend Asako gets in touch out of the blue, asking for help. Initially reluctant to get involved, Minami agrees to meet, only to discover that Asako and a group of friends have all been experiencing strange and unusual things following a visit to a derelict site on the mountain.

Deciding to use her friend’s story as inspiration for her novel, Minami agrees to see what she can find out about the abandoned lumbermill the group visited. And then the bad dreams begin…
