Faceless
A tense, mystery-driven thriller built on unreliable perception and the unknowability of a fugitive's true identity, where each witness account deepens the puzzle rather than clarifying it.
Kaburagi was arrested as a suspect in a brutal murder case, but he escapes. He continues to hide and move all around Japan. During this time, he meets Sayaka, Kazuya and Mai. Detective Matanuki is on the trail to capture Kaburagi. He interrogates the people who met Kaburagi, but they all describe Kaburagi differently from each other. Kaburagi has been missing for 488 days. Who really is Kaburagi? What is his plan?
