For Jay Matthews his path in life is clear: First college, then becoming a movie director and making a movie that means a lot to a lot of people - the only way for someone as ordinary as him to make something magical in a world filled to the brim with it. But life doesn't follow his script, and so he finds himself drawn into a friend's supernatural family drama, facing a necromancer and dealing with his latent magical powers, all before the great plan has even a chance of beginning - and maybe ending it before it ever can. For Taiki Nakamura life has been everything but easy. But with his mother in the hospital again and his best friend, Jay, running away from home, he decides that enough is enough. But taking his life into his own hands and following the shadows of the supernatural into a world he doesn't know will bring him things he didn't bargain for, with a pricetag he might not be willing to pay.
