Rising star actor, Yuya Hiiragi, becomes so absorbed in preparing for the role of a “murderer” that before he knows it, he’s strangling his girlfriend. Tormented by his own “murderous impulses,” Hiiragi sinks deeper and deeper into the role. One night, after a rehearsal, he’s assaulted by some thugs, and at the moment of the attack, his persona as the “murderer” takes over, leaving him surrounded by blood and the lifeless bodies of the men. “Let’s leave, now,” suggests his manager, Kiryu, who proposes covering up the incident. But standing in their way is a detective who sees through their lies. Can Hiiragi continue to live as an actor, or will he lose himself completely?
