| Summary | Beneath the glittering lights of Tokyo's Gofukubashi Theater, star actress Amaikawa Kureha lives a life meticulously crafted by her protector, Gou Kujuurou. But when Gou, the king of detective dramas, is found savagely murdered, Kureha's world of illusion is ripped apart. While the police swiftly arrest a notorious bandit, Kureha harbors a terrifying suspicion: the truth is far more intricate than anyone imagines. Now, with the theater's future hanging by a thread, Kureha orchestrates a final, unprecedented performance—a play written to expose her own deepest secrets and the real motive behind Gou's death.
