Synopsis

Mokuyo Yuki, the misanthropic, money-obsessed president of a real estate company, is told by her employee Rui that the cause of her recent run of bad luck is a "curse." The moment she visits a suspicious mansion in Asakusa, something sealed away begins to stir, and a strange night begins, drawing in her ex-boyfriend, a spirit medium, and Rui, who is hiding a secret.
