Synopsis:

PURPLE STORM's Josie Ho Chiu-yee stars as a bilingual American TV reporter in HK to do a segment on "Horror Hotline," a popular radio call-in show produced by Francis Ng Chun-yu. One evening, a caller tells of how he was terrified in 1963 by The Baby, leading to a rash (pun intended, deal with it) of reports from other listeners. After a strange occurrence during the next broadcast, one of Ho's crew goes missing and the video footage reveals that someone else was present in the booth besides the program's two hosts. Ho and Ng learn that a mutant infant (with a gigantic head, several eyes, and one mean disposition) was born in HK during the early 60s and that several deaths soon followed. Further unfathomable phenomenon leave the reporter obsessed with discovering the full story behind what has happened. Ng's wife (Niki Chow Lai-kei), meanwhile, is apparently somehow a part of it all.
