Synopsis

Shunya Sone (Hoshino) is a Kyoto tailor living a happy domestic life. One day he finds an old cassette tape left by his deceased father and is surprised to hear his own voice from over 30 years ago. Sone becomes frightened when he realises that it was recorded at the time a criminal group had publicly threatened a major food company using a child’s voice, a voice identical to Sone’s. Sone becomes determined to look into his father’s past while at the same time a newspaper reporter Eiji Akutsu (Oguri) is writing a feature about the unsolved case. Their paths crossing, the two men join forces to expose the truth.
