## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Miami courtroom humid enough to wilt wigs. A rookie attorney’s first acquittal hinges on a magatama’s jingling. The judge’s pen scratches louder than the gavel.

Flash of a ghostly hand, ink-stained fingers tight on a brooch. Maya’s voice slips between séances and scowls as she trades bodies with her sister’s ghost.

Miike rides the twitchy beats of a shōnen shōnen courtroom.

**Mood tags**: playful, surreal
