Both of the victims were tied all over their body and starved to death. Yasuhisa Tone (Takeru Satoh) emerges as a suspect in the murders. Yasuhisa Tone was just recently released from prison.

Detective Seiichiro Tomashino (Hiroshi Abe) discovers a common link between the two victims and chases after Yasuhisa Tone.

doram May 26 2022 4:50 am I was going to rate 8/10 while watching this movie, but after it reached the end of the story, I changed my mind and give this movie a 9/10. Brilliant acting from the casts. The story was great but the flow wasn't too smooth, sometimes it got too dragging it makes me sleepy during the movie. But overall, it was a nice movie with a nice story plot. Recommended for those who's interested in human-drama type of movies.

Sato Takeru, Abe Hiroshi and Kiyohara Kaya delivers the most in this movie. Eita was great too, but his screen time is not too long. I didn't expect the plot twist at the end! Really enjoyed this movie.

Stephen Jan 07 2022 3:31 am Just watched this on my flight from LAX to Narita. As someone who has lived in Sendai for almost 20 years, I can say this film did a wonderful job of creating the feeling and struggles of the time of the 2011 earthquake. Acting was strong and the story was compelling. Well done. (Minor thing: It’s funny to me that two characters are talking outside Sendai Station and a moment later they’re in the science museum way across town!)

Sherry Nov 26 2021 2:03 pm Any chance it will be released in the American market ie. Netflix, Prime ...... Sounds very interesting.
