SINGAPORE – A multinational company run by demons arrives in Singapore. Pontianak, manananggal, ba jiao gui and other supernatural beings are displaced from their jobs. Some of them end up working for the firm, whose mission is “to acquire the power to destroy civilisation and bring the world to an end”.
