Four hapless heroes try to explain paranormal events using Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. The story begins in an office in present-day Singapore. Mr. Cheng is the owner of 'The Feng Shui Agency of the Paranormal 'and deals mostly with clients who have 'domestic' issues being blamed on superstition. Then Zahirah arrives. She is seeing images of someone from the past at work. She hears noises, sees things in her bedroom. Her dreams disturb her. Are they related to the ex-husband, from a marriage that lasted only a few days? Why only a few days? Is it a coincidence that he is visiting Singapore with his family? He lectures on the connections between science and emotions.
Mr. Cheng also consults with his friend a Confucian master to help. Then mediaeval armour is found, without explanation, in Zahirah's bedroom. An inspirational English Teacher becomes involved as the expert on medieval history and armour. He is sucked into a world of blades, edges, and lines that are vicious. They want, they need! They have past emotions waiting. Zahirah is in danger, can she be saved?
