\u201cNEVER AFTER DARK<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0stars SAG Award and Critics\u2019 Choice Award Winner Moeka Hoshi (SHOGUN) as Airi, a wandering medium who spends her life guiding restless spirits out of the world of the living. Summoned to an isolated country house, she comes face to face with a grotesque apparition with powers that defy Airi\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n As she digs deeper into the house\u2019s past, a secret comes to light \u2014 and Airi finds herself hunted by a far more unpredictable force.
