A methodical psychological thriller about a traumatized detective drawn back into a dark investigation, where suburban normalcy conceals sinister secrets and mind control.

After having narrowly escaped an attempt on his life at the hands of a psychopath, detective inspector Takakura quits active service in the police force and takes up a position as a university lecturer in criminal psychology. But his desire to get to the bottom of criminals’ motives remains, and he does not hesitate long when former colleague Nogami asks him to reopen an old case.
