Thanaphon "Than" Wattanakul is a quiet, sensitive 17-year-old who has seen spirits his entire life — a secret he's kept hidden, even from his best friend, Nin. For Than, ghosts are trouble. He avoids eye contact with them. He ignores their pleas. He wants to live like a normal boy and forget that the world of the dead keeps reaching for him.

But everything changes the night he wanders into the abandoned woods behind his school and accidentally breaks a centuries-old seal. In doing so, he unleashes a ghost unlike any he's met before — a dazzling, chaotic spirit named Phopphadon "Phop" Rattanasetthi, who’s been trapped for over 60 years.

Bound by a spirit-binding curse, Than and Phop can’t move more than 15 meters apart. If they try, both suffer unbearable pain. Worse, the bond is growing stronger — Phop can now touch things, influence Than’s emotions, and even appear to others through him. Than has no choice but to keep him close.

Phop is flirtatious, annoying, and way too comfortable walking through walls — but he’s also hiding something. He doesn’t remember how he died. He only remembers betrayal… and blood.

As Than and Phop try to break the curse, they discover that Phop's past is tangled with an ancient family feud, a forbidden love, and a ritual that was never completed. But someone in town doesn’t want Phop's memory to return — and the closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous the spirit world becomes.

Between growing feelings, restless ghosts, and secrets buried under moonlight, Than must face what it truly means to see spirits… and love one.
