The story is set in a Chinese-Malay Peranakan home in Singapore. It is told through the perspective of Louie, a 7-year-old boy who doesn’t believe that an old superstition is true because of his fear that his Ah Ma (grandma) will haunt him due to a past accident. Since his Ah Ma passed away, an uneasy feeling still bothers him.
