Vientiane, 1980: For a man of his age and in his corner of the world, Dr. Siri, the 76-year-old former national coroner of Laos, is doing remarkably well - especially considering the fact that he is possessed by a 1,000-year-old Hmong shaman. That is, until he finds a mysterious note tied to his dog's tail. The death threat is not just aimed at him, but at everyone he holds dear. And whoever wrote the note claims the job will be executed in two weeks. Thus, at the urging of his wife and his motley crew of faithful friends, Dr. Siri must figure out who wants him dead.

Der pensionierte Leichenbeschauer Dr. Siri Paiboun hat ein neues Hobby: seine schicke neue Kamera, mit der er eine laotische Adaption von Krieg und Frieden drehen will – vorausgesetzt er findet den Einschaltknopf. Doch vor seinem Regiedebüt muss er Polizeiinspektor Phosy bei Ermittlungen helfen. Mitten in der Nacht ist das Skelett einer Frau aufgetaucht – sitzend unter dem Triumphbogen der Stadt. Und obwohl die Tote erst kürzlich verstorben ist, ist nur noch ihr Skelett vorhanden.
