Overview
"It's believed that our souls can linger for seven days after death. When Ziya Roshan's older sister Yalda kills herself, Ziya sets off to find Yalda's soul and bring her back before her time is up. She finds herself in an in-between world where the fairy tale demons she knows from childhood stories keep watch over the souls, "the invisible guests." Just like all stories, there's a price. To return with her sister, she must complete three tasks. Ziya completes each with the help of a trickster crow but even triumph is a double-edged sword in a place where good and evil are not black and white like real life. Every story has a moral and hers is that there still needs to be balance; one soul for death, one soul for life. Ziya finishes her story by finally saying good-bye to her sister and choosing life for herself." -- Abstract
