Plot

10 years ago, Maa-chan and Mii-kun were kidnapped and forced to endure tremendous trauma. They both survived the ordeal, but were left with mental scars that haven’t exactly healed with time; Mii-kun is a habitual liar and Maa-chan routinely flies into violent rages. One day, Mii-kun hears about another kidnapping of a young brother and sister on the radio. Instinctively, he decides to track down Maa-chan again after years apart. When he finds her, his suspicions are confirmed and he begins living with his childhood friend… as well as the two kidnapped kids. With Mii-kun around, Maa-chan is able to snap out of her psychotic episodes by reverting back to a child-like state. However, a detective begins snooping around Mii-kun after speaking to his psychiatrist and a string of strange serial killings in the area threaten to disturb their little world.
