Mr. Machi, a ruthless businessman who exploits his power and position for personal gain, finds himself in a dire situation one morning. While changing a punctured tire in broad daylight, he discovers the disfigured corpse of an unknown man bound and gagged in his car trunk. Realizing he's been set up, Machi embarks on a desperate journey to dispose of the body while trying to uncover the victim's identity and who is responsible for this trap. His search leads him down a dark path filled with potential enemies – from his own wife to co-workers, bodyguards, and politicians.
