　　马蒂亚是一个画家，与一位有抱负的歌手同居，他靠艺术市场的变化来谋生。

故事设定在20世纪90年代末的越南西南部乡村，讲述了年轻女子Lan（Phương Thanh饰）在父亲去世后，前往一位名叫Danh（Mạc Văn Khoa饰）的鳏夫家中担任女佣。她很快发现这座房子隐藏着可怕的秘密：神秘的死亡事件接连发生，村庄中流传着关于“守财灵”的传说——一种通过黑暗仪式召唤的灵体，用于守护财产，但会对陌生人造成致命威胁。Lan与一位名叫Sơn（Quốc Trường饰）的恐怖小说作家联手，试图揭开这些离奇事件背后的真相。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
