Six strangers, 4 men & 2 women, arrive in Uobuka, a small, shabby harbor town. Tsukisue is the unflappable, nonchalant city official who is assigned to be in charge of "acclimating" the 6 strangers into this town. They are part of a secret government program to release convicted felons back into society. Their "past" has not been revealed to Tsukisue or the townspeople. Fukumoto is a timid, quiet, barber's apprentice. Ohta is the sexy, approachable caregiver. Kurimoto is the awkward but methodical janitor. The close-mouthed, scarred launderer, Ohno. Sugiyama is an intimidating fishing boat operator. And Miyakoshi is a carefree, inquisitive deliveryman. Tsukisue soon learns the shocking truth; they are all convicted murderers. The six try to blend in with the town while carrying the burden of their sins. The discovery of a body in the harbor starts to bring Tsukisue, his high school classmate Aya, & the people of this small town to intersect in an emotional climax. Six strangers with a past. To trust them? Or to suspect them? (Asmik Ace Entertainment)
