Après qu’une mère (Ando Sakura) découvre que le harcèlement d’un enseignant est à l’origine du comportement étrange et soudain de son jeune fils, elle fait irruption dans son école pour demander une explication. Restée continuellement sans réponses satisfaisantes – et avec un enfant de plus en plus en détresse – elle fait furieusement part de ses inquiétudes au conseil scolaire et aux médias. Mais à mesure que l’histoire se déroule à travers les perspectives multiples de la mère, de l’enseignant et de l’enfant, la vraie vérité émerge progressivement et s’avère bien plus complexe que ce à quoi on aurait pu s’attendre.
