Actors: Asami, Katrina Grey, Shigeo Ôsako
PlotA solitary serial killer prowls the night, driven by a deep-seated rage against women. Meticulously planning each murder, he takes perverse pleasure in the suffering and anguish of his victims. As he continues his killing spree across the city, his methods grow increasingly brutal. He leaves behind a trail of blood that sparks fear among the locals and frustration within the police department. The story delves into his twisted psyche, offering haunting glimpses into his traumatic past that may explain his abhorrent behavior.
Parallel to this, a female serial killer emerges, targeting men with calculated ruthlessness. Her actions are driven by a scarred history intertwined with torment and vengeance. As her body count rises, she operates under the radar, eluding law enforcement with her ingenious tactics. The narrative shifts between these two merciless predators, gradually drawing them closer together on a collision course. Their paths eventually intersect in an unexpected and violent climax, forcing them to confront their darkest urges and mirroring devastations.
