Ever since the Flicker\/Helix company \"cured\" death with technologically advanced holographic hardware, flicker ghosts have been secondary citizens, lacking purpose and agency. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpending her afterlife in a boarding house in Hypatia City, Hildy is the least-requested flicker-ghost at Carlotta Sun's Purgatory House for Spectral Services. At Carlotta Sun's, Hildy competes daily for ghost gigs against her more marketable housemates: the flighty musician Eyvind, desperate to compose the masterpiece he never got to in life, and Anjali, an imperious silent-film extra whose single surviving motion picture shot her to post-mortem stardom despite it being based on a lie. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, a shadowy, headless ghost called the Graverobber has been spotted emerging from holographic billboards, snatching the resurrected from their so-called lives and sowing chaos throughout the city.
