Deep in a secluded mountain, Nakbin lives alone with his shaman mother. Unlike his mother, who insists he stay hidden, Nakbin longs to venture into the outside world. His mother concern lies in the immense shamanic power he possesses — a gift, and a curse, too great to be contained. Despite his mother’s efforts to suppress it, one day Nakbin’s powers spiral out of control. All she wishes is for her son to live an ordinary life. As Nakbin begins to summon the spirits one by one, his mother desperately battles the gods herself, only to be overwhelmed by their might. Just before a powerful ancient deity strikes her down, young Nakbin stands in its way. Moved by his purity and courage, the god withdraws but leaves behind a foreboding prophecy: Nakbin is the chosen vessel of the Primordial God, the one who may one day bring about the end of the world.
