Finished with big city life, Maya and best friend Dini decide to
return to their roots. They return to the rural home of their childhood
but find a nest of horror waiting for them. The village has been infected
by a curse that is causing babies to be born without skin. Seemingly,

so] and she is targeted for sacrifice.
