The television series Shiki is set in a small village called Sotobamura. This village has a relatively small population and is isolated from major infrastructure. The village still practices old customs, including traditional methods of handling the dead. A series of deaths occurs in the village, with the bodies of multiple people being found. The village's doctor, Ozaki Toshio, initially treats these deaths as normal, but the situation escalates as more villagers die. The series appears to explore the mysterious circumstances surrounding these deaths and their impact on the village. The village's isolation and adherence to traditional customs provide a unique backdrop for the events that unfold. The series seems to build on the initial deaths, creating a sense of uncertainty and tension as the villagers continue to die.
