When Kanako, a model daughter and a brilliant student, disappears, her mother asks her ex-husband, a violent former policeman, to find her. As his investigation progresses, his idealized image of Kanako cracks: the girl hides a dark life that her father can not even imagine.
A frantic search for a missing honor student unearths a labyrinth of depravity that shatters her father's carefully constructed delusions. This neon-soaked fever dream trades traditional detective tropes for a visceral, hallucinatory plunge into a teenage underworld.
