In a maze of underground rooms in Tokyo, bathed in blue light and used by men for cruising and fights, the narrator met Ibuki, twenty-six. Then Ibuki is found beaten and soaked in blood. The case stays a closed box, yet it sets the narrator's days spinning and feeds a warped anger. Through desire, fear, prejudice and brutality, the narrator follows a figure that keeps surfacing behind the attack: a man in camouflage.
