It's been one month since the hellish game of Meido ended, and Owen, Maddy and Emerson are still reeling over the trials they endured there. With Empress Izanami destroyed, and the gate to the world of the dead closed, they take solace in the fact that they rescued Ian from that nightmare. There's just one problem - Ian didn't come home alone. While Maddy chases a lead to find their yokai friend, and Emerson is haunted by a new, deadly creature, Owen is forced to face the empress - now possessing Ian's body - by himself. She tells Owen that the only way to free Ian is to find the artifacts which have been hidden across the realms of Hell, Heaven and Earth.
