To commemorate the first anniversary of the death of Kisaragi Miki, a minor idol who burnt herself to death, five men, who got to know each other through a fan blog and do not even know each other's faces, gathered together. They are Iemoto (Oguri Shun), Yasuo (Tsukaji Muga), Oda Yuji (Yusuke Santamaria), Snake (Koide Keisuke) and Ichigo Musume (Kagawa Teruyuki). While they are enjoying reminiscences, Oda suddenly voices a murder theory. Admist a flurry of speculation about her death, unexpected relations by each of the five men with Miki become evident, and each one's testimony sheds light upon new revelations.
