Synopsis
Sandy and Phil, both Overseas Workers in Dubai, are busy preparing for their wedding. Upon reaching her home, Sandy learns from her mother Daisy what happened to her friend Helen: a short time after Helen's father died, Helen proceeded with her wedding. A few weeks after the wedding, Helen's husband died in a plane crash. On her way to the crash site, she died in a bus accident. A few weeks later, Helen's mother suddenly disappeared inside her house. None of the bodies have been recovered. Sandy proceeds with her own wedding. During the ceremony, she gets a nosebleed and starts seeing glimpses of a ghostly flower girl. It turns out that she is not the only one who saw it. Maja, the psychic daughter of her husband's cousin, also saw the flower girl. Hours later, Sandy and Phil learn that the van carrying some of the secondary sponsors met an accident. When they get to the site, the bodies of the victims could not be found. Instead, they see a bridal cord. Sandy's relatives and friends disappear one by one. Things become more mysterious when Sandy receives their respective wedding photos. The people who died are headless in the photos. They realize that all the headless people in the photos are bound to die. Joya tells Sandy that she is cursed by the "sukob." Sandy is shocked--nobody in her family has died recently, nor has anybody gotten married. Searching for the truth, Sandy unearths a dark family secret. Now she must find a way to end the curse before it takes away anybody else she loves.
