Deep in the jungle of colonial Laos at the turn of the century, an immortal woman of flawless beauty lies on a pedestal in an ancient Angkor temple. A young aristocrat comes across the sleeper and succumbs to her allure. When he brings her body to his family’s mansion, an ancient curse awakens – and begins to gnaw at her.
