It opens with Tetsuo Tosu killing someone before introducing his wife, Kasen Tosu, who is shocked at the sight of a corpse in their apartment. A b-roll from the trailer also briefly introduced the couple’s daughter, Reika Tosu.
Furthermore, the trailer also showed how Tetsuo Tosu continued to find ways to kill people and cover his tracks.
