In a world of technology and highrises, the past seethes below the surface, waiting in the dark quiet places. Kentoku is heir to a corporate empire, and the only one in his family aware that a very active spirit walks the hallways of his ancestral home. Keiko is a feisty young university student with an unusual spiritual talent -- the ability to feel ghosts as though they were flesh. Ryudo is an ancient samurai guardian spirit to an old and respected family, grown powerful in the modern era. An invitation to tea becomes a seduction that binds all three together in a web of desire, appetites, and secrets. Alas, they are not alone in the dark. There are those among the living, and the dead, who would bind them to their service; willing, or not.
