Shibuya, Tokyo. Human waste and a flashback: two girls in a closet. Her sanctuary, the fear of her father and the confession; Takumi confessed to Tomomi's sister. We see in a flashback the horror of a relationship between Tomomi (Movie Award winner – Megumi Hatachiya, “World of Kanako”) and her best friend Kohei. A happy couple with a chic penthouse apartment filled with demons from the past, and the crash is not far away.
