But the circumstances leave Tsuneo, a softly-spoken government bureaucrat, perplexed. How did it come about that his wife, who was shy and withdrawn, and only left their house twice a week to go to haiku meetings, ended up dead in a small shop in a shady Tokyo neighborhood?

As he digs deeper into his wife’s recent past, he has to eventually conclude that she led a double life. He confronts her lover, but, in a moment of panic, kills him. The police are stymied, but soon Tsuneo, feels the pressure and starts making mistakes.
