A scarecrow girl stands alone in the rice paddies while evil crows poke her with catty remarks. That’s her daily routine. On the day of Halloween, the Sun gives her one night of freedom until sunrise as a special treat. Transformed into a human being, she gets mixed up with the crowds of a Halloween matchmaking party in the big city of Tokyo. Surprisingly, the one she falls in love with is a real zombie! Even as these two monsters’ love for each other grows, the time limit approaches to end their happy journey.
