To celebrate their graduation, five close friends set out to scale Mount Aruna to carve out one last cherished memory together. However, their descent turns into a waking nightmare when they become trapped in the crowded illusion of a supernatural ghost market—one that peddles the scent of warm food and belongings left behind by climbers who vanished decades ago. One by one, their friends begin to yield to the temptation, surrendering their voices and souls to choose an eternity there. Left with only each other and suffocated by crushing guilt, Rian and Maya must run desperately through the dark of night, racing against death itself before the eternal fog swallows them alive.
