In a shadow‑lit version of our world, the afterlife is a bustling marketplace of fear where ghosts survive by keeping the living genuinely spooked. The Lucky Hotel, a sprawling, creaky monument to lingering unease, has become the unofficial arena for these spectral performers. Here, reputation is measured in the shivers a phantom can stir, and the very act of being forgotten means fading away forever. The atmosphere hums with a mix of gothic charm and uneasy comedy, as restless spirits hustle to out‑scare one another while the living drift obliviously through their corridors.

Rookie awakens to the harsh reality that her tether to the world will snap in just 28 days unless she proves her worth. Desperate and oddly determined, she is approached by Makoto, a seasoned ghost‑agent who sees potential in her untapped fright factor. He pairs her with Catherine, a once‑renowned haunting champion whose fame has dimmed but whose skill still glints like a polished silver mirror. Together, the unlikely trio embarks on a mission to restore the dignity of their kind by giving the Lucky Hotel a haunting performance worthy of legend. Their dynamic is a delicate dance of mentorship, rivalry, and fragile trust, each aware that any misstep could seal their spectral fates.

The film balances eerie suspense with a wry, almost theatrical tone, inviting viewers to wonder what it truly means to be remembered. As the clock ticks, the characters grapple with expectations—both those imposed by a haunting industry that values terror above all and those whispered by their own lingering desires for significance. In a world where being frightening is the only currency, the quest to leave a lasting imprint becomes both a hauntingly serious endeavor and a surprisingly off‑beat, human‑like pursuit of identity.
