Following a rash moment of insolence, Dr Siri Paiboun, Laos' reluctant
national coroner, confused shaman and disheartened communist, is forced to
go on a road trip with Judge Haeng and the Justice Department. While newly
pregnant Nurse Dtui and Dr Siri's fiancé Madame Daeng are left at the
morgue to defend the staff against exploding corpses and geriatric
gunslingers, Siri has his own problems. On a deserted jungle trail, Siri is
kidnapped. His only route to freedom is to exorcise the local village of
its demon - but that means lifting the curse of the pogo stick.
