Kim Seo-yeon loses her phone while travelling to visit her estranged mother and when she arrives at her childhood home she finds an old cordless phone, but is shocked when she receives a call from a woman who says she’s being tortured.
She investigates the caller and finds that the woman, Oh Young-sook, is living in the same house but twenty years earlier.
