“Why is it more tiring to dead than alive?”

Being human is challenging, and being a ghost is not a cakewalk! A rookie ghost realises she has only 30 days left before fading away. Makoto, a ghost agent, invites her to team up with the washed-up ghost champion Catherine. Their mission is to revive the legend of haunting ghosts in The Lucky Hotel. In the afterlife, ghosts must be frightening enough to survive. The world after death is far from idyllic. "I don't want to be forgotten by this world!" becomes their final conviction. The ghosts about to sink without trace strive to become the scariest legends. They believe, "As long as you have the talent to scare, you will be seen!"
