1942. Malaya. Sgt. Yasuo Fuji, a war cameraman, is huddled in a trench, waiting to film the Japanese 6th Army cross the SlimRiver on its way south to Kuala Lumpur. An enemy mortar shell lands in the trench and in a heartbeat, Sgt. Fuji is running through the jungle for his life. Armed with nothing except his 8mm camera, the young soldier soon hooks up with remnants of the scattered 6th Army. Together with three soldiers, he must race against time to get a fatally wounded soldier back to the division in Kuala Lumpur. However, everything starts to go wrong and they get lost in the maze-like jungle. All their maps are wrong and their radio malfunctions. Sgt. Fuji starts sighting mysterious figures through his camera's viewfinder, and a female ghost starts to haunt them. Surbival is at stake and the ghost is hot on their heels. Will they make it to safety?
