He uses his power to work as an exorcist, banishing ghosts in order to make enough money to undergo a procedure that will take his ability away. At a haunted girls' high school, he encounters Jeen Jidapa (Patchanan Jiajirachote), an amnesiac ghost, who wants to get rid of another ghost.
Initially, Off thinks it is Jeen who needs to be banished, but after a brief fight, which ends up with Off accidentally kissing Jeen, she starts to remember a part of her past. Jeen can also see the vulnerable spot of their adversaries and how they ended up being ghosts.
However, Off and Jeen are unaware that they are being stalked by an evil spirit that caused problem for both.
