However, her routine takes an unexpected turn when Keji, a grad student, reaches out with unsettling news. Walter, the eerie therapist Christine consulted a few times, is gossiping about her and has even shared her phone number with Keji.

As Christine and Keji delve deeper, they uncover a disturbing connection beyond Walter. Keji's family has also experienced a tragedy, raising questions about the strange coincidence that brought them together.
