Shigeharu Aoyama is a widower who is feeling the effects of loneliness as his teenage son gets busy with his own life. The youngster suggests that he find himself a partner. Aoyama confides in his friend Yoshikawa who is well-known in the film industry. Yoshikawa arranges a bizarre audition wherein young beautiful women are called up ostensibly for a movie part, but the actual purpose of the audition is to find Aoyama a life partner. Aoyama goes along with the plan and is soon smitten by a very graceful and submissive looking Asami Yamazaki. Yoshikawa is a bit suspicious of her because her references don’t appear to check out but by now, Aoyama is too far gone in his love for the mysterious Asami. What he finds in Asami to his horrid surprise is a twisted maniacal psychopath who grew up experiencing brutality and sadism as a child and who has now morphed into a serial killer of men.
