Post Description

"An especially dull-witted young novelist named Dekoyan (Tadanobu Asano) goes missing and a subsequent investigation uncovers various plots by his friends to murder him—presumably for revealing a childhood secret through the increasingly-popular stories. Regardless of the absurd methods they used in their murder attempts, however, they just couldn’t seem to finish him off. The screenplay is based on a Kankuro Kudo play and was adapted by Kudo himself."
