In a quiet corner of 14th-century England, a humble wanderer named Nicholas the Planter, guided by a mysterious sorcerer’s gift, plants a seed in the heart of a cursed land where evil reigns. When the Black Baron Guilfoyle and his cruel son terrorize the countryside, the enchanted tree—born from that seed—defies destruction and ultimately brings justice through a miracle no one can explain.

In the quiet countryside, young Doctor Lawton inherits his predecessor’s old car—a relic with a mysterious past—and soon discovers it moves on its own, defying logic and control. As strange incidents mount, from eerie self-driven journeys to an urgent rescue guided by the vehicle, Lawton begins to question whether the car’s odd behavior stems from lingering spirit or something beyond explanation.

In a remote New Mexico desert, a skeptical engineer dismisses an old Indian’s warning about the ancient god Attu the Terrible, only to experience a series of violent earthquakes after detonating dynamite near a sacred site. When a helicopter survey reveals crater shapes eerily resembling giant footprints, the engineer is forced to reconsider the legend—and orders a retreat, acknowledging the danger of waking something best left undisturbed.

When he uses it to make a wish for universal happiness, the world erupts in uncontrollable joy—so intense that society begins to collapse under its own euphoria. As the consequences spiral beyond control, Jo is left to face the terrifying weight of his unintended power.
