Synopsis

Shamoto tient une boutique de poissons tropicaux. Sa deuxième femme ne s’entend guère avec sa fille, Mitsuko, et cela lui fait peur. Un jour, prise en flagrant délit de vol dans un supermarché, Mitsuko va trouver en la personne de Mr Murata, non seulement un sauveur, mais aussi un homme exerçant le même métier que son père mais à grande échelle. Il poussera même la bonté jusqu’à lui offrir un travail dans son magasin. Mais Mr. Murata, sous ses manières attentionnées, cache de nombreux sombres secrets…

An English teacher named Seiji Hasumi (Hideaki Itō) is loved by his students and respected by his peers. He graduates from Harvard College with an MBA, and works at Morgenstern, a European investment bank, for two years. Hasumi returns to Japan to pursue high school teaching. However, his outward charm masks his true nature. In reality, Hasumi is a sociopath who is unable to feel empathy for other human beings. Specifically, he has a severe antisocial personality disorder. Having killed both of his parents and his former tutor at the age of fourteen, Hasumi turns into a fiendishly clever killer. During his time in the States, Hasumi meets a partner in crime, an American named Dave, who thinks he shares the same "hobby" as Hasumi – killing people for fun. The two can be seen carrying buckets full of human blood, bones, and organs somewhere, giving off the notion that they committed numerous murders while working together. Hasumi eventually kills his partner by knocking him out and burning him alive inside a barrel, stating that while Dave enjoys killing for fun, Hasumi does not.
