Children go missing in a town and the adults around the missing children die suspiciously. An internet rumor spreads that any adult that meets a returned child will die 3 days later.

Local newspaper reporter Shunya Ezaki (Daiki Arioka) begins to investigate the mysterious deaths. Meanwhile, Shunya Ezaki’s girlfriend Nahomi Harada (Mugi Kadowaki) works at a kindergarten school. A boy’s mother does not pick him up at the school and Nahomi Harada takes him with her.
