Lee Yugeon, an ordinary young man working at a mart in a small rural village town, happened to drink snake liquor at his workplace. After that, he began having nightmares featuring a massive black snake and started being tormented by ghosts as well. When he eventually even became possessed by a ghost, he went to see a shaman, who told him, “Return to a place surrounded by water.”
Yugeon had been living on a small island called Imokdo 17 years ago, but left the island for some reason. Thinking that the instruction to return to a place surrounded by water meant going back to Imokdo, he immediately contacted his father to say he wanted to return to the island, but his father flatly refused, drawing a firm line. However, a few days later, he received a call from his younger brother. His father had passed away, so he needed to return to the island for the funeral.
Having returned to the island that way, Yugeon reunites with his younger brother Lee Migeon and encounters the Imugi, becoming entangled in strange events.
