Lore & Background
The film follows six school friends—Ta, Kim, Por, Tair, Noot, and Ko—who, two years prior, humiliated their teacher Miss Aajaan Panor by filming her affair with the sports coach and broadcasting it. The coach later held the group at gunpoint and sexually abused them, with Noot being the most frequent target. Seeking revenge, the students hired a shaman to curse the coach, who died with fish hooks emerging from his body. Por also asked the shaman to curse Miss Panor, who was found stabbing herself repeatedly in the legs and became a recluse.
