Synopsis
Eccentric travelers seek utopian Nanaki Village, find it abandoned, then vanish amid claw marks and paranoia.
A bus full of eccentric individuals is headed toward the urban legend known as Nanaki Village, a place where one can supposedly start over and live a perfect life. While many have different ideas of why the village cannot be found on any map, or why even the police cannot pinpoint its location, they each look forward to their new lives and just what awaits them once they reach their destination. After a few mishaps, they successfully arrive at Nanaki Village only to find it completely abandoned. Judging from the state of disrepair, it has been vacant for at least a year. However, secrets are soon revealed as some of the group begin to go missing while exploring the village and amidst the confusion, they find bloody claw marks in a forest. As mistrust and in-fighting break out, will they ever be able to figure out the truth behind this lost village?

- 8 “This was quite the experience. Go into it knowing nothing. Read the comments on Reddit each episode. Speculate. Wait a week between episodes if you want to feel the full impact of the cliffhangers....”
