How frustrated Ira was because she had to take care of her mother, Linda, who turned out to be a victim of black magic, a sending that was done to torture the victim to death. When her two older siblings, Ara and Ari arrived, Linda was actually dying. The terror became even more terrifying when Linda rose from the dead after her body was jumped over by a cat. Since then, Linda has changed to be very different, plus terror after terror that threatens the lives of Ira, Ara, Ari and Ari's only child named Adelia. Along with the increasingly gripping terror, Ira actually finds the facts behind the perpetrator who sent black magic to her mother.
