Kayo has worked as a probation officer for three years. She finds her job rewarding, but one client, Makoto, an ex-murderer, suddenly disappears. Just around the same time, the police are investigating a series of murders committed by a mystery man. A slow-burn thriller where the tension just builds and builds. Based on the manga Zenkamono.

Kayo werkt al drie jaar als reclasseringsambtenaar en ze is erg blij met haar baan. Maar dan verdwijnt er een cliënt, Makoto, die ooit iemand vermoordde. Net op het moment dat de politie een reeks moorden onderzoekt, die door een nog niet ontmaskerde seriemoordenaar worden gepleegd. Een meeslepende thriller waarin de spanning rustig maar gestaag blijft stijgen. Gebaseerd op de manga Zenkamono.
