"To my love Ren, I'm sorry..."
Ren is the "Nation's Muse"-a manufactured masterpiece of the entertainment industry. Every smile is scripted, every tear is a PR move, and every breath belongs to the Agency.
Jun is the "Ghost"-the silent writer and handler who writes the lies the world believes. He was trained to keep Ren in a cage of gold, to be the shadow that ensures the star never stops shining.
But when the lights go out and the Agency turns predatory, the ghost and the star vanish. In the narrow, rain-slicked alleys, the roles they spent years playing begin to shatter. Amidst the smell of burnt garlic and the sound of OPM ballads drifting from open windows, they find a truth that wasn't in the script.
But ghosts aren't meant to be seen, and stars aren't meant to fall. To give Ren a future, Jun may have to write an ending that neither of them is ready for.
