What seemed like a silly joke to them at the time, though, turns around when the spirits of those whose graves they ‘vandalized’ decide to pay them a visit and make them pay. The rest of the film follows what the duo has to do to atone for their faults, including deep dives into these spirits' pasts and deaths in order to accomplish this.
