Shunichi Saito (Kai Shishido) moves into a run-down apartment. The previous resident, a Russian, left his belongings behind — including what look like suspicious classified documents. Then a parcel addressed to that Russian arrives. Opening it, he finds an unfamiliar machine. When Shunichi touches it, a digital tone sounds and a countdown begins.
