Synopsis
Spoiler shield

According to an urban legend spreading in Japan, if you call an American number at midnight from your cell phone, you'll have a wish granted in exchange for a few minutes of your life. Some female students, stressed by poor school results and a barely functioning personal life, decide to dial the number, and from that moment on, everything changes. They'll realize they've sold their souls to the devil when a series of strange accidents and violent deaths begin to occur.
