Shih Jun is Ho, a scholar who journeys to the wilderness to transcribe some Buddhist Sutras, which contain within them the power to reincarnate spirits. However, during his journey, Ho begins to see ethereal visions. Upon arriving at his destination, he finds the area to be populated by few, a result of wars thinning the population. Still, Ho befriends a pair of comely women: Melody (Xu Feng), a demure generals daughter with a suspicious air, & Cloud (Sylvia Chang), another mysterious girl whose endearing nature belies a profound sadness. Soon, Ho realizes the surprising truth: he is in a land of ghosts, & the Sutras he carries hold tremendous power!
