*Note: seeing as
it can be near impossible to talk meaningfully about some films
without what some might consider SPOILERS, consider this your
warning.*
Small town sheriff Paul Del Moral (Pepe Serna) accidentally hits a
Japanese man with his car while driving along a foggy road. There's
something fishy about the accident victim, but before he can be
questioned he vanishes from his hospital room. Meanwhile,
bestselling Japanese mystery writer Aki (Ayako
Fujitani) ditches her press tour without telling anyone where
she is going and travels to San Francisco, feeding speculations that
she has disappeared (shades of Agatha Christie). At her hotel Aki
meets a mysterious Japanese man (Kazuki
Kitamura) who seduces her, only to (you guessed it) go missing
himself. What the heck is going on?
