In SUNA, two detectives investigate strange deaths linked to sand. Wedding follows two grieving fathers in a near-future America torn by civil war. KUTSUYA centers on a dishonest novelist and a mysterious shoemaker. Victims turns a parking dispute into escalating chaos for a young couple. Human Error follows a man whose life is disrupted by an AI voice scam.

A young school girl is surprised by a man in black while smoking in a shrine. Not far away, a teacher friend and a detective get into an argument over a discarded cigarette when the angry stranger reappears. If there's one thing he can't stand, it's improperly disposing of garbage. Like a spirit of vengeance in nature, he flashes his katana.
