Hiruko helps people by entering their nightmare with them with the help of his supernatural cane that puts them to sleep, and helping to sort the nightmare out before taking it to eat for himself. When a person has nightmares they go to Hiruko, a Baku, for help. It takes place mostly in Ginseikan (Silver Star in English), the teahouse run by Mizuki Asahina.
