It's just when routine gambler Pete starts seeing things he shouldn't that he meets Niran, a strange young man who speaks with authority regarding what's been appearing before for him. Soon, Pete finds himself assisting the man with a supernatural task, one he's somehow uniquely qualified for.
When the need arises to undertake the dangerous task of awakening Pete's demonic power, Niran, Pete and Fei assemble a team with the qualifications to help them pull it off.
After successfully gaining control of the demonic power within Pete, Niran and the gang plan a ritual to lure out Qi Rong, and Pete takes on the risky role of decoy.
When their ritual to subdue Qi Rong traps everyone in a dangerous time warp of mist and shadow, they must overcome their inner demons to survive the dimension and complete the ritual.
