An estranged son drives twelve hours to collect badly needed money from his father's estate. The same ugly McMansion still sits behind a security wall, but there are new features: a gaudy slate roof, a 70s-style conversation pit, and nearly two dozen statues posted along the wall like sentinels. It makes no sense; Billy Buchanan's father was broke. Where had these fierce looking, valuable sculptures come from? Forced to spend the week at 22 Dutch Road, Billy begins believing these samurai-styled carvings can talk to him by day, and worse, move at night-his father might not be so dead after all.
