A hallucinatory psychological thriller that uses animation to blur the boundaries between Mima's fractured identity, celebrity obsession, and violent reality.

Rising pop star Mima Kirigoe quits singing to pursue a career as an actress. After she takes up a role on a popular detective show, her handlers and collaborators begin turning up murdered. Harboring feelings of guilt and haunted by visions of her former self, Mima's reality and fantasy meld into a frenzied paranoia.
