Thought and plot behind the film poster: Nic Pel, just your regular, not so friendly, next door author who keeps getting into trouble without wanting to.
His bipolar sidekick, Emoter (character credits, Sagar Bhatt) always managing to have his back somehow despite having problems of his own.
On one particular fateful night, Nic Pel decides to experiment with his newly bought book, to try communicating with the underworld realm's spirits. That plan goes just well as the idea sounds and he ends up accidentally awakening all of the underworld. And if this wasn't bad enough, Emoter's emotions go haywire with all the lingering spirits tingling his cells.
Can Nic Pel manage to make peace with the spirits or will this be his last story?
