A murder occurred in the city's most upscale residential area - the male owner, Hiroshi, was killed in his own home, and the prime suspect turned out to be his wife Junko, who had always been known for her elegance and grace. Adding to the mystery, their son Shinji, who attended a prestigious school and had a face like a movie star, disappeared immediately after the incident. This seemingly perfect "happy family" - wealthy, with a beautiful and virtuous wife, and children that were the pride of their parents - what had happened? Why did the closest relationships in the world end up so distant and cold, even leading to murderous intent? The members of the family involved in the case, along with their relatives and neighbors, recounted and confessed from their own perspectives about the details leading up to the murder. Bit by bit, the truth was pieced together and became clearer.
Meanwhile, as they waited for the truth to be revealed, everyone’s conscience underwent another test: how would the relatives of both the criminal and the victim face life moving forward? “Father is already gone. The one left behind is her. Even if she is a murderer, the fact that she is family will not change. What's more, society especially emphasizes this relationship. I have no choice but to accept this fact.” As for the neighbors, also facing similar family issues, they felt anxiety and fear after the murder. “She is clearly my only precious daughter, yet, in that moment, she looked like a complete stranger. If the doorbell hadn't rung, perhaps a murder could have happened in my house at that time.”
Through these various perspectives, the story gradually unravels the hidden tensions and secrets within a seemingly perfect family, questioning the true nature of familial bonds and the consequences of unresolved conflicts.
