Kaga-graduate lang nila ng college nang matagpuan umanong bugbog-sarado at tadtad ng saksak ang katawan ni Aaron, matalik na kaibigan ni Eman. Pero hindi kumbinsido si Eman na si Aaron nga ang bangkay na ibinurol at inilibing ng ama at kapatid nito. Dahil walang naniniwala sa kanya, mag-isang sinaliksik ni Eman kung ano ang totoong nangyari sa nawawalang kaibigan - na naghatid sa kaniya sa mga kwentong nagsisimula sa dekada '50 at pinamamahayan ng mga manananggal, ng mga tagaapagtanghal ng salamangka, at ng mga lalaking basta na lang nawawala.
