Synopsis
"After surviving a brutal attack by a masked, axe-wielding assailant, young lawyer Ninomiya learns that he has a neuro chip embedded in the frontal lobe of his brain. It soon becomes apparent that his would-be killer is
wanted for a string of grisly murders, with all his victims sharing the same mysterious secret. Another late-night delight from the unfathomably prolific horrormeister Miike, this twisted blend of police procedural and
psychological thriller attempts to literally prise open the head of a serial killer to determine just what makes them tick."
