It makes no sense; Billy Buchanan’s father was broke. Where had these fierce-looking valuable sculptures come from? Forced to spend the week at 22 Dutch Road, Billy begins believing these samurai-styled carvings can talk to him by day, and worse, move at night; his father might not be so dead after all.
