Story
Tamura Shin is a young man who has been pursuing the mystery of the murder that his father Sano Bungo, a police officer, caused and changed the fate of their family. Ever since his father’s arrest, Shin, his mother Kazuko and sister Suzu have been getting harsh looks and had to live in hiding – a life where they are always conscious of people and not even permitted to smile. However, Shin’s beloved wife Yuki accepts his past and has always given him encouragement and support. One day, Shin is told by Yuki to try and give his father the benefit of the doubt, and he decides to meet his father who is in prison. However, when he heads to the old crime scene, he is shrouded by a sudden mist and ends up going back in time to the past. Shin finds himself in the year 1989 – right before the murder took place. The crime scene has become a snowy village. At this village, Shin meets his father for the first time in his life as well as his much younger mother. They are a lovely, kind family with warm smiles. Why did his father become a murderer? If he stops his father’s case, he will not lose them. This spurs Shin to challenge the taboo of changing the past. He tries to unravel the mystery here and prevent the murder.
