Summary
A sassy underworld officer and a gentle detective team up to uncover the identity of an unjustly dead ghost. One day, Prince Bari, an underworld officer, receives a strange report: a ghost refuses to enter the afterlife because they have no name and no memory of who they were. A soul can be taken to the afterlife only when its name is called. Unable to guide the nameless ghost, Prince Bari descends to the mortal world herself. There, she encounters a horrifying vengeful spirit. What kind of death could have left it so grotesque? To investigate, Prince Bari and fellow reaper Bok-yeon visit the detective in charge. The rookie detective Oh Hyun-gyu is captivated by their extraordinary abilities and ends up revealing the case details. Thus, an unlikely team from the underworld and the mortal world is formed. Together, they uncover the truth behind the ghost’s unjust death—and seek to restore the name of the nameless dead.
