Married couple, Sarah (King) and Jason (Chen), along with their son Sammy (Oey), return to Vancouver from their home of Shanghai of 6 years, for the funeral of Uncle Raymond (Foo). It is during this time that Sammy begins to see ghosts and falls gravely ill, all coinciding with the Chinese festival of Ghost Month. Traditional western medicine doesn't help, so Sarah turns to a mysterious pharmacist who tells her that her son is held in a death grip by a living corpse. Sarah now must find what the spirits want before the last day of Ghost Month, or Sammy will be lost forever.
They Wait was filmed on location in Vancouver in March 2007.[2]
