Kate Makabe is a fearless reporter known for breaking big stories. With her career on the up and up and her love life under complete control, Kate's world seems to be perfect. That is, until one day, her mother is rushed to the hospital.

Kate's world shatters when she realises her father might be none other than the infamous murderer.

Kate is tasked with covering a special feature on a dancer, but she is consumed by regret over shifting her affections from her ex, Yuichiro, to Haruki, who has since grown distant.

Kate is uneasy during an assignment in the town where her father lives.

Kate reflects on why her father could have murdered all those people as she visits the camp where it all happened 30 years ago.

Kate visits her father for answers, but he turns on her, and she is no closer to the answers she seeks. Yuichiro then joins Kate on a visit to the lawyer who handled her father's case.
