The Reborn Dead have returned to Tokyo's nights, but what drives this new wave is older and more dangerous than what Tatsuma Hiyuu and Kyouichi Houraiji faced in Kenpuu-chou. Bodies appear dead at dawn, vanish from the morgue by nightfall — the same impossible pattern, but this time connected to occult forces embedded in Tokyo's deeper history. The group with supernatural powers is pushed further than they have been before, testing not just their abilities but their understanding of what the city is actually built on and what is underneath it.
