The film's narrative centers on Woo-jin, who is preparing to move into a new home on an auspicious day. However, after his wife Hee-yeon begins exhibiting strange signs, he seeks the help of Tae-ju, a shaman who must perform a ritual. The story unfolds over a single day as Tae-ju, played by Byun Yo-han, a disciple of a renowned shaman, guides Woo-jin, portrayed by Ahn Jae-hong, and Hee-yeon, played by Ha Yoon-kyung, through the unfolding events.

Veteran director Huh Jung, who previously helmed 'Hide and Seek' (2013) and 'The Mimic' (2017), is directing 'The Day Without a Hand.' This project marks a significant venture for CGV Pictures, the film division established by CGV last year for investment and distribution, which is taking on the main investment and distribution role.
