Based on a Thai legend, it tells the unearthly love story between Mak and his wife Nak who died in childbirth while her husband was at war and nevertheless remained around with her child both as ghosts. When Mak returns home, he finds his wife and child seemingly well. In this version, the main culprit of their tragic fates is Mae Muean, Mak's over-possessive mother and Nak's oppressive mother-in-law who mistreats Nak, bringing about her fate.
