Based on the bestselling mystery by Kirino Natsuo, which drew attention for its story of a group of housewives' crimes and the raw descriptions of the women dismembering corpses.
Masako (Harada Mieko), Yoshie (Baisho Mitsuko), Kuniko (Muroi Shigeru) and Yayoi (Nishida Naomi) are friends who work at a box lunch (bento) factory. One day, Masako gets a phone call from Yayoi, who says she's just killed her husband. Yayoi asks Masako to take care of the body, so Masako decides to cut it up and throw it away as garbage. She puts pressure on Yoshie to help, and the two dismember the body at Masako's house. When Kuniko appears unexpectedly, they get her in on the plan by promising her a share in the money Yayoi is going to pay, but Kuniko's sloppy work gets part of the body found. To make matters worse, Kuniko threatens Yayoi and gets her to co-sign a loan. When loan company owner Jumonji (Kagawa Teruyuki) finds out about the incident, he uses it to get them to start a corpse dismemberment business, and Masako, Yoshie and Kuniko find themselves cutting up bodies again. Then Jumonji's severed hand is delivered to Yayoi's house. The man accused of Yayoi's husband's death has begun his revenge...
