July Chen possesses the ability to perceive ghosts, yet her father firmly believes that ghosts do not exist. Consequently, she pretends they do not exist, which proves to be an incredibly challenging task during Hungry Ghost month, when the Gates of the Underworld open, allowing ghosts to roam freely in the living world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne fateful day, July rescues a boy ghost from being devoured by a hungry ghost, thus making him her very first friend. However, it is important to note that William is not a ghost but rather a wandering soul oscillating between life and death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether, July and William embark on a mission to return William to his body, unraveling a ghastly truth along the way: for William to regain his physical form, July must sacrifice her own life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis dark yet hopeful tale, inspired by Chinese mythology, explores the themes of friendship, sacrifice, and the unseen ghost world.
