Plot

During a parade in Sendai City for Sadayoshi Kaneda, the opposition party’s first Prime Minister, a radio-controlled bomb suddenly explodes and kills him. Around the same time, a courier named Aoyagi meets up with an old friend named Morita. Morita seems to be acting very strange, and mentions the assassination before it happens. Suddenly police arrive with their guns drawn. Aoyagi witnesses Morita’s death in an explosion and makes a run for it, completely confused by what just happened.

Soon, several pieces of damning evidence come to light, pointing to Aoyagi as the main conspirator of the assassination. With nowhere left to turn, Aoyagi must place all his trust in a small circle of friends to help him along the way including his university junior Kazu, his ex-girlfriend Haruko, a serial killer the media has dubbed “Kill-O”, and a yakuza hospital patient.
