With no support from her husband, who is away at sea, Ranti chooses a dangerous shortcut by performing a forbidden ritual to become the “Devil’s Bride.”

Miraculously, Nina recovers. However, Ranti soon realizes that every miracle comes with a terrifying price. Bound by a sinister pact, she must face the horrifying consequence of a ritual that demands the lives of her entire family as a sacrifice.
