Hailed by critics around the world, this "exciting and impressive" (Variety) tale of love and obsession based on the writing of Rampo Edogawa - Japan's answer to Edgar Allan Poe - is "an astonishing, first-rate achievement on all fronts...not to be missed" (Boxoffice)!
Although Rampo is the literary toast of Japan, the government has banned his latest manuscript: a dark tale about a woman who suffocates her husband inside a hope chest. And when a local man is murdered by his wife in the same manner, Rampo becomes obsessed with her and embarks on a quest to unlock the truth about the crime. But as he traverses the line between his fantasy and her reality, is Rampo really trying to save the woman of his dreams, or simply destroying the fragile shell of his own sanity?
