Urban horror, noir, and psychological suspense collide as a forbidden frequency stirs something ancient, dragging a lost expat into deadly games of mind and survival. Tokyo isn’t just alive—it’s hunting. After midnight, alleys breathe, reflections watch back, and something patient moves through the neon haze. Nigel, a newly arrived expat trader, clings to routines—until a vanished lantern and two impossible eyes spark an unraveling that threatens his grip on reality. As rooms listen and memories slip, a ritual killing shocks the city, stirring rumors of forces older than Tokyo itself—forces that see Nigel as trespasser or bargaining chip. Dragged into deadly games of mind and survival, Nigel finds doors where none existed, corridors that change, and a scent, sweet and wrong, that follows him through claustrophobic streets. Every answer comes at a cost; every step forward narrows the way back.
