Synopsis

Mark and Joshua, a long-term couple, discover a mysterious door hidden in their wardrobe. In this new realm, they encounter an elderly couple who have recently passed away and seek guidance to move on. Meanwhile, Joshua, who is already deceased, fears that his own door may never appear. As more doors materialize, and more souls receive the help they need to move on, a troubling truth emerges: Mark has secretly concealed Joshua’s door out of his deep-seated fear of losing him forever. This shocking betrayal shatters Joshua, plunging him into the haunting realm of lost souls. Now, Mark must confront his grief and face the unknown with courage, while recovering the enduring spirit of Joshua.
