In South East Asian lores, a drowned soul, consumed by resentment, transforms into the vengeful spirit known as MA DA. Trapped in its watery grave, MA DA cannot reincarnate on its own and can only hunt for a suitable child to drown in its place. Once claimed by MA DA, the victims' bodies cannot be found until a special ritual is performed to recover them...
THE LEGENDS OF MA DA
Set in the dark waters of the Mekong River, MA DA - THE DROWNING SPIRIT tells the thrilling story of a corpse collector who confronts Ma Da - the vengeful drowning spirit, after it abducts her daughter. Determined to save her child, Mrs. Le embarks on a desperate rescue to prevent her child's ghostly fate beneath the waters.
In East Asian tradition, Corpse Collectors are fishermen who recover drowned bodies from rivers when a "floater" is reported. Despite facing prejudice, they provide solace to grieving families by performing this dreaded task that no one else dares undertake.
