A humanoid creature with a sheep's head robbed an ancient Buddha of its head, burying one of its eyes within the sacred temple. This theft triggered catastrophic darkness—the world's flames died, and shadow consumed the entire continent. In response, the gods of day and night emerged from the heavens to challenge the Ghost's relentless advance. This tale survives through generations of oral tradition, yet its true origins remain shrouded in mystery. Who truly were the ancient Buddha, the Ghost, and these wandering deities that once walked the land? Answers may lie within the Zhou Family Troupe, an enigmatic performance group that stages operas exclusively for the dead, their stories echoing secrets lost to time.
