Synopsis

A laundry shop secretly undergoes the service more than doing laundry. The beautiful shop owner A-Gu enlists a group of contract killers for hire in the disguise of laundry service. One of these professionals, “No.1, Greenfield Lane”, is haunted by the ghosts of his victims. He seeks the help from Lin-Hsiang, a psychic introduced by A-Gu. It turns out Lin-Hsiang is the only one that can also see the ghosts troubling “No.1, Greenfield Lane.” She tries to help him get rid of the ghosts, but the laundry shop hides secrets more than she bargains for. And what “No.1, Greenfield Lane” runs from is not the ghosts of others but the ghost from his past.
