They suddenly embark on a family vacation at the request of their grandmother, Yeongok, who has been given a time-limited sentenced. The weather is bad and the typhoon is intensifying. As they approach their destination, a mountain cabin, Uji sees a woman running toward the car in the rain and wind. Just in time, she is caught in a landslide and plunged down a cliff.

Neither man nor beast.

The family heads back to the cabin to recover from their injuries and escape the typhoon, leaving Yeongok's body behind. As they make their way through the forest, Uji has visions, as if possessed. Soon after, the family encounters Seo, who resembles the woman from the driveway, and they meet with Mr. Park, owner of the cabin, and head to the cabin, only to see something in the middle of the forest that is neither human nor beast.

The only road has been washed away by a landslide, communications are completely cut off, and the rain and wind are relentless.

It resembles a hippopotamus, but is larger than any beast. The family and Seo barely escape from the thing, but upon their return to the cabin, they hear horrifying news. One of the guests has been murdered with a knife in his back.
