After finally achieving their dream of owning a home, sisters Joo-young and Joo-hee begin to suffer from a mysterious and unidentifiable noise coming from somewhere in their apartment. One day, Joo-young loses contact with Joo-hee. Gripped by anxiety, she rushes back from her job at a factory in the countryside and begins searching for her missing sister with the help of Joo-hee's boyfriend, Ki-hoon. Meanwhile, a man living in the unit below, also tormented by the strange noise, becomes convinced that the sisters upstairs are the source and begins threatening them with murder.
