[4] The movie has three separate stories that are connected through a murder that takes place at the beginning in a suburban neighborhood in Tokyo.
A mysterious man, whose face we never see, brutally murders a married couple in their home and paints the word “rage” on the door with their blood.
Detectives Kunihisa Nanjō (Pierre Taki) and Sōsuke Kitami (Takahiro Miura) investigate the double homicide and discover that the perpetrator has gone through plastic surgery to escape the authorities.
In Chiba, a reclusive newcomer Tashiro Tetsuya (Matsuyama Kenichi) arrives in town and befriends Aiko (Miyazaki Aoi), a problematic young woman who was working in a brothel for a few months.
She had only recently returned to her hometown after her father, Maki Yohei (Watanabe Ken) following an incident with a customer that left her traumatized.
However, Aiko herself starts to suspect Tetsuya is not telling the truth after realizing that he looks strikingly similar to one of the sketches of the murderer.
The second story revolves around Onishi Naoto (Ayano Go), who hides out at a gay bathhouse in Tokyo to avoid people.
The third story is about Tanaka Shingo (Moriyama Mirai), a free-spirited homeless young man who lives alone on an abandoned island near Okinawa.
However, as it turns out, Naoto and the girl had both grown up in the same facility for orphans with health issues making her the closest thing to family he has.
However, he did nothing to warn her because he wanted to see her raped; this bombshell causes Tatsuya to suffer a mental breakdown, violently stabbing Shingo in the stomach before calling the police.
