Living undisturbed by the rest of the world, the villagers have always been curious when the odd stranger happens to pass through but none has ever piqued their curiosity more than Lu Huynh (Quang Tuan). Claiming to be a shaman and healer, Lu Huynh quickly gains the attention and admiration of the villagers after miraculously healing the local ill.&nbsp;

Enticed by Lu Huyn’s “miracles” and enraptured by his charm, Soi (Hoang Yen Chibi), a local deaf-mute, finds herself drawn to the stranger. Undeniably pretty, Soi soon catches Lu Huynh’s eye and the attraction felt between them soon blossoms into something more. Married not long after, Soi is perfectly content to live out her lifelong dream of domestic bliss, but that dream soon turns into a nightmare after she uncovers her husband’s dark secret.

A phrenetic believer of Kumanthong, a fanatical sect of witch doctors who use human sacrifices and the conjuring of the dead to invoke dark magic, Lu Huynh’s quest for immortality has turned him into a psychopathic serial killer. Realizing she could very well become his next victim, will Soi find a way to reveal the truth and stop her husband before he strikes again?

Phong decides to investigate, deciding that all may be revealed if he can only uncover Dream Man’s true identity. But the more he digs, the more he realizes that Thao Nara’s so-called friends weren’t quite so kind about her behind her back – and appeared to be jealous of her fame. In fact, friendship starts to take dark overtones as he searches for clues both on the net and offline. Could Dream Man be someone he knows? And will he be able to track down the killer before another life is lost?
