In this movie, several "urban legends" evolve before the viewer's eyes. As the film opens, a group of boys have waited in line for hours to acquire the latest version of a video game. When a rumor goes around school that the game, "The Legend of Life King IV," is cursed, and that those who fail to finish it will die, the boys take it seriously. When their school principal dies while delivering a diatribe against video games, this confirms the curse in their eyes. Meanwhile, one of the boys' mothers comes to believe that cakes purchased at a certain bakery are poisoned in some fashion because the site of the bakery was formerly a graveyard.
