When it is discovered that she is of an ethnic group which was violently driven out of the regions many years before, old wounds are reopened as the villagers are reminded of their role in the bloodshed.

The mysterious disappearance of a child causes this tension to mount into hysteria, driving the story to its chilling outcome.
