Chisako (Anne Watanabe) rescues a boy who has lost his memory in an accident, but instead of handing him over to social services she decides to pretend to be his mother and takes him under her wing.
As they begin to bond, the dangerous repercussions of Chisako’s actions start to mount. Was her lie a crime or an act of love?
A suspenseful mystery that questions the nature of family, the plausibility of escaping the past, and the justness of deception.
