One night, sophomore literary student Marius Shelley "Rus" Ilusorio returns to Mount Carmel Hall to retrieve his brother's missing pen, only to lose himself in the suffocating darkness of its eerie hallway. Just as terror grips him, Lucia Meira Salamanca, the strange sophomore communication student and SNU Publication writer with a sixth sense emerges from the darkness, saving him from an unthinkable horror. Seeking refuge in the school's storage room, they stumble upon an old yearbook that falls open on its own, revealing a photo of the recently deceased After Class Society president, Enzo Gabriel Hidalgo-Rus's unrevealed half-brother. Enzo's eyes stare back at them, his chilling blood-stained message clear-Help me.
Drawn into the society's undisclosed mystery, steeped in death and secrets, Rus, the last active member of After Class, knows that he can't solve his brother's suspicious death without the society. So, to save it from total dissolution, Rus must recruit five more members-including the reluctant sixth sense girl, Lucia. But with a paranormal society haunted by a resurfacing curse and possibly a vengeful spirit, who would dare to join?
