The premise

After causing a major incident, police officer Daigo Agawa takes his wife and daughter to live in the remote mountain village of Kuge. It seems the perfect place to recover from the ordeal, despite the mysterious disappearance of a previous officer posted there. One day, the body of an old woman is found on the mountain. The Goto family says she was attacked by a bear, but Daigo notices a human bite mark. It soon becomes clear that not all is as it seems in the village.

Horror Vault's take

Transferred to a fog-shrouded mountain village after a career-defining incident, Officer Daigo Agawa hopes for a quiet fresh start — but Kuge is anything but peaceful. When a local death raises questions that the tight-knit community refuses to answer, Daigo's instincts pull him deeper into a web of unsettling secrets. The village and its dominant Goto family seem determined to keep outsiders out and their traditions buried, and the line between paranoia and genuine threat grows dangerously thin. Adapted from a hit manga, this slow-burn Japanese thriller makes the rural landscape feel like a trap closing by the episode.
