The Tjoa ash-house intended for ancestral tables has stood at the top of Kota Cahaya's exclusive Green Hill for a century. Now it is all drooping lintels and sagging roof; a haunted house with a haunted heir in it - Arno Tjoa, a Barbie-doll fixated cripple whom Sister Mary Michael, the clairvoyant nun, has been sent to set free.

​

However, as the nun unearths the family's skeletons, she realizes it is not in her power to save everyone or everything. Who or what must be sacrificed? What must be left to turn to dust.
