Fréwaka follows the story of Shoo, a dedicated care worker grappling with the shadows of a personal tragedy that continues to haunt her daily life. Seeking both redemption and escape, she embarks on a journey to a remote and mysterious village, far removed from the comforts of the city. This new setting serves as a backdrop for Shoo's emotional and psychological transformation as she confronts her own demons while trying to support others.
Upon arrival, Shoo is tasked with caring for a reclusive woman suffering from severe agoraphobia. Isolated by her own fears, the woman is deeply mistrustful of the villagers surrounding her and harbors a profound terror of the Na Sídhe—ethereal and malevolent folkloric beings believed in local legend to abduct and torment those unfortunate enough to cross their path. This blend of folklore and reality creates a tense and eerie atmosphere, highlighting the clash between ancient superstition and modern life.
Throughout the series, Shoo and the woman navigate a complex web of fear, mistrust, and mystery, as the boundary between reality and myth begins to blur. Their evolving relationship uncovers layers of pain, resilience, and hope, while the dark presence of the Na Sídhe looms ominously. Fréwaka offers a haunting exploration of trauma, isolation, and the enduring power of human connection in the face of unfathomable fears.
