Along for the trip are his anxious, already grown daughter & his sickly young son, both of whom join dad in a seemingly ancient, suitably creepy Japanese-style house.

Above all, the family is warned to never, ever venture outside whenever the islands siren, itself housed within a sinister steel tower, begins to wail. What is the secret of the siren? & what does it all have to do with the powerful group of undead creatures wandering outside in the dark? & most importantly, will the writers family live to tell the tale?
