An anonymous letter is delivered to the police - a warning that the killer involved in a mysterious homicide a few days earlier will strike again at “Masquerade Night”, the New Year’s Eve countdown party held at Tokyo’s Hotel Cortesia. On December 31st, rogue detective Kosuke Nitta (Kimura) once again goes undercover as a hotel clerk to apprehend the culprit. As in his previous case, he is assigned to work with Naomi Yamagishi (Nagasawa), an exemplary if somewhat overly serious hotelier. All 500 invitees will be in costume. Everyone is a suspect. As the masked guests begin to arrive, the pair struggle to find a clue which will lead them to the murderer.
