A year after a botched hostage negotiation with a serial killer turned deadly, ex-detective Koichi (Hidetoshi Nishijima) and his wife (Yuko Takeuchi) move into a new house with a deeply strange new neighbor (Teruyuki Kagawa). Koichi’s former cop colleagues soon come calling for his help on a mysterious case, which may be related to the strange goings-on next door.
