About

A Yokohama shoe executive faces a wrenching choice when kidnappers mistakenly seize his chauffeur’s son but demand the ransom anyway.
A wealthy executive must decide whether to protect his massive fortune or sacrifice it to save a child who isn't even his own. This tension drives a precise, clockwork procedural that turns a single moral dilemma into a sprawling urban nightmare.
