Writer Nao (Miko Nakagawa) comes to a certain isolated island. The other-worldly motel guest is stage actor Ginji ( Mitsunari Sakamoto), who is staying to prepare for a role. The owner, the master (Hideaki Hachiya) welcomed Nao.

There, Naruse (Kazunari Moriwaki) and Shimamura (Hiroyuki Hagita), who have escaped from a prison on a neighboring island. In addition, two women, Chinatsu (Sayoko Hagiwara) and Suzuka (Michiko Makino), who have nowhere to go because the road from the city was blocked by a landslide due to a sudden storm, arrive. Wakeari humans appear one after another. Shortly after, the news of the jewel robbery murder that happened in the city was heard on the radio. The perpetrators are said to be two women.

  Meanwhile, detective Kuroneko (Kyoji Kamui) receives a request from Nao's older sister, Kaori (Aiko Takahashi), to help her sister. Nao was arrested as a suspect in a murder case, but due to circumstances, her innocence was confirmed at the trial. How does she "save" Nao, who has already been acquitted of her guilt?
