Positive emotions--happiness, love, what have you--are practically unattainable for ghouls except through siphoning, or sucking the happiness out of a human. Finn Bay, a ghoul working as a florist's apprentice, finds his next target in Oscar, a teenage bike mechanic with a crush on his new friend, Evelin. Finn crashes his bike for an excuse to see Oscar and in the process gives himself a nasty head injury that needs a huge dose of happiness to heal. Now that his fate depends on it, Finn agrees to help Oscar and Evelin fall in love and ends up developing a friendship with Oscar that evolves beyond necessity. The two of them hatch a plan to use Finn's job delivering flowers to bring people happiness and then siphon it out. Soon, people begin knowing him as the "flower boy." There are many things going against him--the wisdom of ghouls from past generations, the risk of everyone finding out what their precious flower boy really is, and a demon hunter bent on "defeating" every ghoul in town--but Finn might just discover that he's deserving of, and capable of, happiness and love after all.
