Miyuki, a famous Kabuki actress, has landed the leading role of Oiwa in a new take on the classic play
The Ghost of Yotsuya: Part I (1949). And using her status and connections, Miyuki manages to get her lover Kosuke cast as masterless samurai Tamiya Iemon. Now everything is going as planned; however, as the on-and-off-stage lovers prepare for the live stage production of the hair-raising ghost tale, lust and betrayal creep into the rehearsals, inviting vengeance. Does art imitate life?
