Troubled hack Tanaka (Satoshi Tsumabuki) distracts himself from his personal problems by immersing himself in the mysterious cold case of the slaughter of an apparently perfect family. As he digs deeper, it turns out that they weren’t quite so perfect after all in this seductive, twisty-turny Tokyo noir.
