Ten years ago, they took him. He doesn't know who. For ten years he has been confined in a private prison. He doesn't know why. For ten years his only contact with the outside world has been a television set and the voice of his jailers. In time, he lost himself... changed... transformed himself into something else... something hard... something lethal. Suddenly one day, his incarceration ends, again without explanation. He is sedated, stuffed inside a trunk, and dumped in a park. When he awakes, he is free to reclaim what's left of his life... and what's left is revenge.

Гото похитили и заперли в камере без окон, где он в итоге провёл целое десятилетие. Всё это время его единственным проводником во внешний мир был телевизор. Выдержать столь долгую изоляцию ему помогали интенсивные физические тренировки и еда из китайской забегаловки, которую каждый день приносил надзиратель.

Спустя десять лет Гото неожиданно оказывается на свободе. Но кто его похитители? Почему его так долго держали взаперти? Кто пытался сломать его? Он отправляется на поиски ответов и постепенно погружается в глубины своего прошлого.

Deciding that he must know the truth, the man who calls himself "Yamashita" follows a trail of clues that lead him back to the mysterious building where he was imprisoned and kept incommunicado for ten years. There, with the help of violence and a brutal imagination, he will try to find answers to the questions that haunt him. However, he will discover that his opponent will not yield to him so easily, and that his ordeal is far from finished.

Гото полон решимости отыскать того, кто отнял у него десять лет жизни и заточил в секретную тюрьму, но каждая новая подсказка приводит лишь в очередной тупик. И когда, казалось бы, надежды уже нет, похититель добровольно выходит из тени и лицом к лицу встречается с Гото. Но к чему этот жест доброй воли? Или это коварная ловушка? Так начинается опасная игра в кошки-мышки, ставки в которой максимально высоки: проигравшему придётся умереть.

Imprisoned without explanation for a decade by a wealthy former schoolmate, Goto now comes to the endgame against his tormentor. If Goto cannot uncover the secret behind the schoolyard grudge, he'll earn his death and the death of the girl he loves - just as his adversary will accept death if Goto can unlock his memories and the meaning behind them. But there's more to the game locked away in memories, and even the end of the game may not mean the end to the war!

Goto's search to unearth the identity of his mysterious tormentor has led to one dead end after another, until he receives a tip that an old high school classmate may have orchestrated the kidnapping that began Goto's ten years of isolation and imprisonment. But many years have passed since Goto's seen his schoolmate, and he looks much different than Goto remembers. Has Goto found the true path to his final vengeance, or has he swallowed another piece of poisoned bait?

Ten years locked away in a private prison with only a TV set and a jailer's voice for company — but why? What had Goto done to deserve this unexplained forced isolation, and why was he unceremoniously released, again without given reason? Could this decade of torment really be about a schoolyard grudge? Is an adolescent vendetta worth the millions of yen required to imprison a man for a decade? And is allowing the brutal Goto the opportunity to pursue his revenge just another opportunity to watch him twist on a hook?

The deadly game of cat-and-mouse continues! Imprisoned for a decade without trial or explanation - and then released just as unceremoniously - and now armed with a cell phone that his former torturer has provided for him, will Goto be able to hunt down the truth behind his decade in hell, or will he become even more his tormentor's plaything? No doubt, Goto's adversary still has a few surprises in store, and if Goto wants answers, he'll have to fight like hell to get them.

Goto marches forward relentlessly to discover the identity of his tormentor, the man who had Goto locked up in a private prison for ten long years without ever telling him why. But Goto's nemesis wants Goto to find him, and meet they do, where Goto's enemy reveals his identity and gives Goto clues that suggest this decade-long ordeal stems from a long-forgotten schoolyard grudge. But there's more to this cruel game, and Goto's friends may end up in the morgue if he doesn't agree to continue the game - in sudden death!

Imprisoned without explanation for a decade, Goto is a free man at last, but what price freedom? Now, his mysterious jailer, a former schoolmate with a lifelong grudge, has Goto embroiled in a malicious game to discover the reasons behind the schoolyard vendetta and why his tormentor would go to such extreme lengths to exact his retribution. It's bad enough when Goto discovers that his memories have been impeded by hypnotic conditioning, but when he learns that his lover, too, is a victim of hypnotic manipulation, Goto begins to suspect that she may be an unwitting pawn in his enemy's venomous endgame!

Финал противостояния Гото и Какинумы — в этот раз один из них действительно умрёт!

Благодаря писательнице Яёй Кусаме, которая когда-то была его классной руководительницей, Гото приходит к выводу, что злополучный инцидент, лишивший его десяти лет жизни, произошёл в шестом классе на уроке музыки. Вот только подробности восстановить никак не удаётся, словно доступ к этим воспоминаниям заблокирован. Это не так уж далеко от истины: Гото сделано гипнотическое внушение. Кажется, план Какинумы безупречен — и шансы Гото на победу тают на глазах…

Гото с непоколебимым упорством продолжает попытки выяснить личность своего врага, скрывающегося под псевдонимом Додзима. При этом Додзима настолько уверен в своём превосходстве и могуществе, что сам делится ключевой подсказкой: причиной десятилетнего заточения стало какое-то происшествие в школе. Но какое? Именно это Гото необходимо вспомнить с помощью новой неожиданной союзницы. Правда, медлить нельзя, ведь с каждой минутой ставки в этой жестокой игре повышаются: теперь в опасности не только Гото, но и его близкие.
