...Ryu Goto: I went to an unspecialized private school in New York, and I got to do a lot of things and have a wide perspective.

...Ryu Yohan is, in most ways, a typical Korean-American retiree. He lives in an unremarkable house in suburban New Jersey, volunteers at his church, and passes time watching old cartoons with the volume turned up too loud. But his visions are darker. He sees dead people, and they're not your typical brand of horror-movie phantoms either. They're the victims of his brutal killings 50 years ago during the Korean War.
