Synopsis

While pursuing of a gang of ruthless killers, Detective Murakami is ordered to a gruesome crime scene. There he discovers Maki, a beautiful young girl clutching the torn out heart of one of the victims. As the sole survivor of the mass killing, Maki is its prime suspect. However, she claims to have no memory of who she is only that she was led to the scene by the voices of the dead. Though her explanation is dismissed as the lunatic ravings of a mad woman by his police higher-ups, Murakami takes note since he too is able to see the specters of the dead, a condition that has afflicted him since childhood and one he keeps hidden from the other detectives.
