Plot
Mima Kirigoe is the charismatic leader of a girl band whose success in Japan is barely noticeable. Although music is her passion, Mima dreams of something more: becoming an actress. Determined to pursue her ambition, she leaves the group and ventures into an artistic world that she soon discovers is much darker and more complex than she imagined. However, her aspirations are overshadowed by a growing fear: a series of crimes begins to occur, and they all seem to have one common link: her.
Every step of her life, every gesture and every decision seem to be recorded on the internet, available to anyone who wants to track her. In the shadows, a strange figure watches her, stalking every movement. As Mima tries to understand what is happening, the people closest to her begin to be threatened and even murdered, plunging her into a terror she cannot control.
In the midst of this spiral, Mima discovers something even more unsettling: she has an identical twin, a reflection that seems to move in parallel to her life and could be the key to the nightmare surrounding her. Trapped in a paranoid loop from which she cannot escape, her identity, her safety, and her sanity blur, leading her into a world where fame, obsession, and violence intertwine in a terrifying way. Every choice she makes brings her closer to the abyss, and soon Mima will realize that nothing and no one in her life truly belongs to her.
