When he hears about the last native balinese tribe living in the very east of the island, he convinces Kasia to take a two-day trip to the Agung Volcano in the same area. In the village at the end of the road, they meet up with a friendly local by the name of Sabit. He offers the couple a place to stay and to show them the way to the crater of the volcano. Kasia feels uncomfortable and out of place in this foreign land, but feigns interest for the sake of her husband. However, something seems off about Sabit and everything else in the town. They spend the night in a simple house with the local family, and one incident after another prevents them from leaving. Now and then misunderstandings arise between Kasia and Tomek, hidden differences and resentments come to light. Kasia grows uneasy about the host, suspecting him of bad intentions. She has nightmares, where she experiences reoccurring visions of a mysterious symbol, strangers in masks. In the meanwhile Tomek becomes obsessed and jelaous by Kasia's good relation with Sabit. The psycho- sexual tension grows. During a ritual taking place in the village, Kasia falls into a trance and discovers that the master of ceremony wearing a devil mask is none other than Sabit.
Tomek kills Sabit when he catches him trying assult Kasia. But the local family has nothing against this violent act, on the contrary, it seems like it is a planned event, a part of an even bigger ceremony taking place every year. Kasia and Tomek play the main roles in the grande finale. As tensions, and sanities, grow thinner, will the tourists be able to make it out alive or will they be trapped by the ominous fog that hangs low over the village?
