On the seventh night after his grandfather's death, Lin Xiaoman burns paper offerings, but can't send the past away with them.
As a descendant of Celestial Masters, he thought the family trade would give him a respectable career. Instead, what awaits him is a temporary job in the underworld.
The living's troubles, the dead's lingering obsessions, the names concealed in old cases: with every assignment he takes, he draws closer to the secret his grandfather left behind.
No talisman can make every decision for someone, and no one's grievances should be casually dismissed. As Lin Xiaoman hustles to make a living, he follows the clues: seeing those who should move on safely on their way, and reclaiming what is owed. But when his family's past is laid out before him, this time he must answer for himself: what does true justice mean?
