After dealing with some bad reviews, the Ghost Leaves get back to work running Silkshore's only ghost infused tea room. Vinly is confronted by the Weeping Lady, Halfdan begins work on something terrible beneath the tea room, and Sabrina encourages her uncle to share an old Iruvian card game with the good people of Doskvol.
In an effort to stop bad reviews of their haunted tea room, the Ghost Leaves decide to intimidate a reviewer. On the way, they discuss child catching, Vinly's literacy skills, and the moral complexity of palliative care in a city where the dead don't rest.
Can't some scoundrels running a haunted tea room catch a break in this city? As it happens: no. Sabrina defends her Iruvian heritage by insulting everyone else, Vinly's homeless problem has now elevated to being a problem for the gang, and in the basement of the tea room, something hungry is calling out to Halfdan.
Occult dabblers and ne'er-do-wells, the Ghost Leaves have been asked to modify a will to ensure a doctor they know inherits a renowned clinic. Breaking in to the executor's office, they find there's more in their way than just legal jargon. Obviously, modifying a will like this is illegal, but it's white collar crime which makes it more morally okay.
The heat is rising, while the temperature is dropping. The Ghost Leaves continue to run Silkshore's premium séance/coffee business, but it seems that someone is conspiring to see them fail. Halfdan digs a hole and chases a child, Sabrina has a new roommate and an old suitor, and Vinly continues his one man campaign against the homeless, gambling away his hard earned money along the way.
Patrons of the arts, the Ghost Leaves are contracted to steal a mysterious paint for a young impressionist. However, in the dark heart of Silkshore, a visiting artist of renown attracts attention beyond just our familiar scoundrels.
After repaying a favour with the Fog Hounds, the Ghost Leaves prepare for their next move while managing Silkshore's latest small business. Halfdan bumps into an old 'friend', Vinly considers robbing a charity, and an old officer makes Sabrina an offer she can't refuse.
Returning a favour to the Fog Hounds, the Ghost Leaves get a chance to show off their culinary skills in their first catering gig. But, out on the water, things are never as clear cut as they first seem.
With the spirit in the tea room satisfied, the Ghost Leaves take some time to recover and refocus. Sabrina goes on a date, Halfdan finds a doctor, and Vinly emotionally manipulates the homeless.
The Ghost Leaves, under direction from the spirit in their tea room, work to kidnap an old officer from a retirement home. They use all of the skills at their disposal: dating, ethnic intolerance, and the precise application of explosives.
