After he managed to hunt down and kill the murderer of his wife, a new series of murders have occurred and the suspects claimed to be Shinji Nishizono himself. Is it really him? Or a copycat? And who is Kazuhiko Amamiya? At once violent, disturbing, surrealist, stylish and comedic, the series is a must-see for J-Horror and Miike fans.
