A contract killer hides out in a Japanese mountain town after a botched job. Posing as a cram-school teacher, he stays off the radar, makes no waves, and drinks enough every night to quiet all the voices in his head. There he befriends a local boy, whose family pulls him back from the brink and gives him a reason to keep going. When the boy suddenly disappears, he knows the past has finally caught up with him. Risking everything, he comes out of retirement and settles all his old scores.
