Yeon Sang Ho, celebrated for hits like Train to Busan, Hellbound and Psychokinesis, is directing and penning the script of the K-drama.

Soon, mysterious murders follow in the village, prompting police officers Choi Seong Jun (Park Hee Soon) and Park Sang Min (Park Byung Eun) to start an investigation. As they delve deeper, dark secrets come to light. The teaser comes to a conclusion with scenes showing gunshots shot in the dark, ominous talismans, and blood splattered on a door, leaving viewers intrigued about the mysteries behind the graveyard Yoon Seo Ha inherited.
