Twin sisters Mio Amakura and Mayu Amakura are visiting a childhood play spot when Mayu, who walks with a perpetual limp after a childhood accident, follows a mysterious crimson butterfly deep into the woods. Mio, concerned for her twin, follows Mayu, and the two girls are led to a lost village. While curiously empty, the village appears to have been cursed by some past event. The curse appears to be related to a failed ritual of human sacrifice involving twins, where one twin sacrifices another. This ritual was supposed to keep the Hell Gate beneath the village closed. After one of the twins designated for the sacrifice flees the village, the remaining monks attempt to complete the ritual by hanging Yae's sister, but this instead opens the Hell Gate and releases the evil spirits held inside, who flood the village and kill everyone present.
