Synopsis
Katsu is a former novelist that has been stalled since his teen daughter was viciously murdered by a classmate. When he and his ex-wife learn that the killer is now being retried, they cooperate with the prosecution’s office to prevent the assassin from being released from prison. As they embark on an agonizing moral journey, the both of them are forced to confront not only their own past mistakes, but difficult questions of punishment, the thirst for vengeance, and the price of forgiveness—especially when impactful facts are revealed.
