＜STORY＞
1999. Bound by the strict expectations of her family, Takako Chikada is forbidden from marrying the man she loves. Desperate to escape her fate, she sets a chilling plan in motion: marry a man with an exemplary background, murder him, and have her lover assume his identity so they can live together as husband and wife.
But Takako’s twisted desires prove impossible to contain, and the killings continue.
Decades after the shocking “Spouse-Switch Serial Murders” that stunned the nation, a controversial stage production based on the case is set to premiere. Tada lands the leading role. Yet this marks the beginning of a nightmare that engulfs the entire production.
What exactly is this man capable of?
