Huy is a homeless boy with a haunted past trying his best to survive for another day. A cardboard box in an alleyway is his bed, the darkened walls form his room and the sky makes his roof. His constant companion and source of bread and milk is the flute he was given at a tender age, and his friends are either stray cats or "old souls." But Huy has a secret, and it is one he will take to the graveyard with him when the day is done. When a cryptic warning arrives out of the blue from an acquaintace who loves scaring him to death with sudden entrance and whispers, Huy has to acknowledge that a powerful curse is at work, and only he can put a permanent stop to it.
