up. This reveals that what he experienced was only a nightmare. After turning off the alarm, Eric
contemplates and thinks about the bad dream. In the next scene, someone contacts Eric through

for the position to escape his nightmares. Suddenly, Eric hallucinates, and sees a small
hand peeking at his table. To check, he goes near the table and opens the container. he sees nothing
but his stuff. However, Eric's heart aches, when he sees the ultrasound of his late wife and their
baby. This reveals that the woman who is dead in his nightmare, is actually his pregnant wife, and
Eric is actually grieving about the tragedy. In the next scene, Eric is seen on the way to
the remote island, to apply as a shepherd. Before proceeding, he decides to drop by his childhood
home to talk with his mother. Eric carefully walks toward the door, and knocks on it. his
mother opens the door; but she's not pleased with the presence of her son. Eric's mother
blames him for his father's death, saying that Eric prioritized his wife before his family.
The mother says to Eric that he only comes to visit, because his wife is now dead. Angry, Eric
screams that his mother does not have the right to talk about his dead wife. After the heated
argument, the mother dares Eric to go away. In the next scene, Eric goes to a nearby lake.
While contemplating, he takes the wedding ring off, and throws it on the water as
hard as possible. Eric sits down and starts having a mental breakdown. While shivering,
he takes his knife, and thinks about using it to end his life. While crying,
he points the knife to his wrist to cut his vein. Fortunately, he's unable to take his own life. He
drops the knife as he sobs drastically. Suddenly, he hears a sheep bleating,
and sees one approaching him. Eric suddenly remembers the application for the shepherd
position. This makes him think that there's still something to do with his life.
While on the ship, a woman named Fisher, approaches Eric. Fisher asks him if he is
escaping, or running from something. Eric lies, saying that he only comes to apply for a job.
As they approach the shore, Eric takes his stuff and his dog towards the island.
Fisher says that the old cottage will be Eric's new home. she takes the cottage's key,
and gives it to Eric. Fisher explains the terrible situation on the island, and warns
Eric of the possible dangers. Fisher gives Eric a journal for him to record his thoughts and
experiences during his stay on the island. Eric shakes the woman's hand for good luck. However,
Fisher says that something is haunting Eric, and she can see it with her own eyes. Creeped out,
Eric starts walking toward his new home. As he opens the door to the old cottage,
he notices that everything is rusty and very old. Interestingly, he sees a phone;
but it does not have any signal. Similarly, there's no running water inside the house.
Eric goes out of the house to begin exploring the island, and to look for some freshwater. While
walking, he sees a rock with strange markings engraved on it. Fortunately, he sees freshwater
and quickly takes his bucket to fill it. Out of nowhere, Eric sees a necklace with a pendant ring,
dumped in the freshwater. He takes the jewelry and keeps it. Eric goes home to make some hot water.
While doing his chores, he stares at the ring as he wonders where it comes from.
After inspecting the house for more, Eric sees an old clock, and decides to hang it on the wall.
Once again, Eric goes outside to feed all the sheep. Strangely,
he notices that his dog is staring at the old lighthouse. Quickly, the sun begins to set,
and the night goes deeper. Eric sees the very beautiful view just outside of his cottage.
In the cottage, he sees a shelf of journals that are all similar to the journal,
given by Fisher to him earlier. He takes one of the journals and reads the content.
Scarily, he finds writings about a witch lingering on the island.
To find his bedroom, Eric needs to go through the old staircases.
He finds it very difficult to climb stairs due to his fear of heights. Luckily, after a few
attempts, he successfully reaches the cottage's second floor. he finds it very weird that his dog
has been staring at the door for quite some time. The night lingers with a heavy storm, while Eric
thinks about his dead wife. While sleeping, he dreams about his dead wife on the beach.
suddenly, a car screeches, implying that his wife's death is caused by a road accident.
It's now morning, and strange things are now beginning to happen.
Eric is shocked to see that his dead wife's old cup is inexplicably filled with hot tea.
The day continues, and Eric intends to do his job as a shepherd. Eric takes the sheep's food,
and brings it to the sheep. Suddenly, he hears a very creepy sound from behind,
and the sheep begin to bleat aggressively. Eric screams at the top of his lungs,
asking who's on the island. However, all the sheep suddenly go silent as they stare at Eric.
he goes to the cottage, and he's still perplexed about the cup being filled with tea,
without any other person around. Angry, he breaks the old cup, and tears it to pieces.
To check if the phone is working, he takes it; but it still does not receive any signal.
Outside, he sees Fisher going inside the lighthouse. He intends to approach Fisher;
but the woman leaves the island in a hurry. Eric tries to call her; but Fisher is already far from
the island. Curious, he climbs the stairs, and tries to go inside the old lighthouse.
As he tries opening the door, he realizes that it's locked, and he has no way of getting inside.
Then, just beside the lighthouse, Eric sees a skeleton of an animal.
In the middle of the night, Eric once again struggles to climb the stairs to
reach his bedroom. While lying in bed, the memories of his dead wife still haunt him.
This reveals that even though he escapes to a remote island, the memories of his dead
wife still linger. Eric decides to take his pen, and write his thoughts in the journal. Suddenly,
he hears a scream from a distance. Eric is having another episode of a nightmare. This time,
he's in the middle of the forest, and sees his dead wife alive. However, when Eric looks behind,
he sees the creepy, dark hooded-figure again, that he saw in his last nightmare. Fearing for
his life, he runs, and is shocked when he sees the dark figure standing right in front of him.
Not long after, Eric wakes up from his nightmare. Eric climbs down the staircases, and sees his
mother doing chores in the kitchen. Eric is really perplexed, and he asks his mother what she's doing
on the remote island. The mother talks about her dead husband, and says that Eric has no idea what
she has been through. Eric replies that he also just lost her wife, and he's also struggling.
However, his mother goes mad, and says that Eric can not compare his father to his wife.
The mother starts crying and sits down. She questions her son on why Eric left her alone,
when she was alone and struggling. Eric tries to consolidate his mother by
hugging her. After that, Eric reiterates his question to his mother. He asks his mother
how she found him in the middle of a remote island. The mother says it's a small world;
but the mother's answer does not convince Eric. His mother continues to say bad things about his
dead wife. She starts acting very aggressively, as she takes the knife and cuts her own hand.
Scared, Eric dares his mother to get out of the house. However, his mother continues talking,
and says that the baby in the stomach of his dead wife is not his, but the devil. Suddenly,
the mother turns into something demonic, as she takes the knife and attempts to stab Eric.
Not long after, Eric wakes up. This reveals that Eric did not really wake up from his
nightmare earlier. Rather, the incident with his mother was also a nightmare.
Waking up, Eric notices that his dog is missing. Suddenly, the phone rings, and he answers it. He
realizes that Fisher is the one who's contacting him. Inexplicably, Fisher says that "something" is
now beginning. Eric now thinks something wrong is happening, as he wonders how his dog is missing,
even though the door is locked. Angry, he slams the phone down, and punches himself in the face,
trying to wake himself up. However, this time it's not a nightmare anymore.
To look for his dog, he goes outside to search. Instead of finding his dog through thick fogs,
Eric finds the creepy hooded figure in the middle of the valley instead. He approaches the figure
carefully to confront it. Eric laughs as he feels that he's going crazy. Suddenly, Eric sees a
massive luxury ship in the middle of the valley. He goes inside to look for his dog. On board,
Eric sees an old key, and picks it up. Suddenly, the creepy hooded figure from his
nightmares, starts forming behind him. Eric walks as fast as he can, without looking back
at the hooded figure. Fortunately, he's able to escape and go to the old cottage.
While resting, Eric is having flashbacks of his nightmares and the car accident.
Then out of nowhere, he hears a baby murmuring inside the cabinet. With his knife, he prepares
himself and opens the door. However, he realizes that the sound is only coming from a small bird.
This reveals that the death of Eric's baby during his wife's pregnancy, is also haunting him.
Slowly going crazy, Eric goes back to the middle of the valley to look for the luxury ship.
When he sees nothing but sheep, he cries and falls down to the ground. In the middle of the night,
he decides to write his experiences in his journal. He's curious about the other writings, so
he takes the other journal and reads it. He then sees a drawing of the creepy, dark, hooded figure
that he has been seeing. According to the journal, the figure is called "The Wrecker ." When he turns
to another page, Eric is shocked to see a drawing of his missing dog. As he can not believe what
he sees, he throws the journal away from him. In the morning, Eric can not stop thinking about
the strange happenings. As he stares at the ring he picked up in the freshwater spring,
he realizes that it's the same wedding ring he threw away in the lake,
before going to the island. He apologizes to the ring for throwing it away. Suddenly,
the phone rings, and Fisher starts talking to him. He asks Fisher about what's happening.
Fisher replies that he's the only person that could answer his question, and that he should
have been realizing what's happening by now. She implies that Eric is on the remote island
for a reason, and that Eric is there for penance, and reflects on the sin that he committed to his
dead wife and child. This reveals that the strange nightmares and flashbacks about the accident that
Eric has been hallucinating the entire time, have something to do with his sin. However,
Eric insists that the incident was an accident, and he is innocent. While in denial, the death
of his wife flashes back to the scene, and Eric slowly confides about the incident. It turns out,
While Eric and his wife were on a road trip, he was intoxicated with alcohol.
At the same time, he and his wife were having a major argument. As a result,
Eric loses control of the car, and he leads the car toward the cliff, making them fall down by
the sea. His wife died because of drowning. As Eric confesses his sin, it reveals that the
cause of his wife's death is because of his drunk driving, and him being stuck on the island,
is a way for him to confront his sin. Fisher ends the conversation, and Eric is all alone.
Desperate to be saved, he takes the old key, and brings it to open the door to the lighthouse.
After struggling to climb the stairs, Eric turns on the light of the lighthouse,
which Fisher witnesses with dismay. As he exits the building, he sees all the sheep bloody, and
ritualistically flayed. While he's shocked by what he witnesses, he also sees his dog lifeless.
Scared, he goes to the cottage, and locks himself up. That night, he goes into another
nightmare. While remembering the death of his wife and baby, he tries to fight the memory,
and he suddenly wakes up. In the living room, Eric is confronted by the creepy hooded figure, while
mimicking his dead wife's persona. The figure keeps questioning Eric on his sin. To fight back,
Eric uses the lighter that his dead wife provided him, to set the hooded figure
and the cottage on fire. The figure disintegrates as the cottage burns to ashes. Eric swims in order
to reach Fisher's boat for escape. However, he starts to drown and lose consciousness. As he
regains consciousness, he's unable to swim as the weight of his sin drags him down into the sea.
In the next scene, Eric wakes up on the shore, and the locals bring him to a police station.
When questioned, the whole nature of his confession comes to light:
when he's driving intoxicated, the car carrying him and his wife swerved off toward a cliff. Eric
was safe, because he got out of the vehicle due to his fear of heights. As a result,
the vehicle became imbalanced, and fell into the water with his wife and their baby.
After the interrogation, Fisher calls Eric to let him know that although the punishment for
his sin is complete, she's still upset with him for breaking the rules by leaving. In the end,
it reveals that Fisher murdered Eric's mother, and planted Eric's journal with the police to
frame him. This implies that the island is really a place for sinful individuals,
including both Eric and Fisher, for them to reflect and be punished. However, Eric
disobeys the rule by leaving the island. Because of this, Fisher, the servant of duty, punishes
Eric even more. The thunder rumbles; Eric goes outside of his interrogation room, only to find
that he's emerging back to the island, indicating that the punishment for him is far from over.
