An elementary school student hears of a creepy urban legend. A surreal game where your body’s spirit is transported to another place to find a dead girl’s missing thumb. If you find it before the candle goes out, your wish will be granted. But if someone taps you on the shoulder during the search, you must never look back.
Six school friends decide to play “the game” just for fun. But when “the game” is over, one of them goes missing.
Eight years later, the five remaining members reunite to play “the game” one more time. Only this time, one by one, they are murdered. One member is shackled by the past, unable to come to terms with the disappearance of his friend. Another has buried the incident while never quite forgetting it. Each of them carries on with their lives and copes with their guilt in their own way…
