Plot
Kara always sees her grandmother (Gloria Romero) always using tarot cards to tell the person's fortunes. She was enchanted to try to use it, despite her families' protests. She later played the tarot that reads that someone will die, which is her grandmother. Her mother put the tarot cards on her mother's grave.
Many years later, Kara (Marian Rivera) is engaged with her fiance (Dennis Trillo) and goes into hiking. But she senses something is wrong. Her doubt is right, as a storm hits their position and her fiance is lost in the middle of the storm. She was later rescued by her group. She tries to rebuild her life, until her fiance returned. But after that, several mysterious and horrific events happen to them.
Later, the mysterious ghosts revealed that they are former members of a cult who sacrificed themselves, save 2 women. One of those women is her grandmother. Using the tarot card, she tried to solve the problem, but they got worse.
Later, they return to the mountains searching for a clue, when an old man, who was her grandfather (and the leader of the same cult where the ghosts belong) warns them, but the ghosts are claiming one life after another. And the only solution the old man must kill himself to relieve the ghosts' anguish. But her fiance dies when he falls in a ravine.
