Synopsis

Tokyo, at the end of the century. The police are tracking the killer 'four-eyes'. A young woman, Hinano, finds K.K. has reinvented himself as a vigilante. From behind his distorting glasses he shoots his victims but always misses. But does he...? As in life, nothing is what it seems. Once he comes in contact with Hinano, K slowly abandons his role-play, his video games and comes back to reality. A bullet gets to him - and so does a woman.
