A prominent paranormal journalist named Kobayashi goes missing shortly after completing a documentary. What begins as an investigation into strange noises soon evolves into the chilling mystery of a demonic entity named Kagutaba.

 

The film employs a pseudo-documentary style and utilizes found footage conventions, with the majority of the narrative being presented as if it were Kobayashi’s documentary, made up of footage recorded by his cameraman.
