Silk

A team of scientists led by Hashimoto has built a device called the Menger Sponge, which allows them to capture the energy of a child's ghost trapped in an old apartment building. The boy murmurs words no one can understand, and the team cannot explain why his energy refuses to fade. To interpret what he is saying, Hashimoto brings in Ye, a police officer skilled in lip reading who is reluctant at first and carries guilt over his mother's death. Working with the captured spirit draws the two men toward the boy's identity and the truth behind his death.
