In 1992, a shocking incident forever marked a prestigious high school when a rooftop confrontation between two schoolgirls took a tragic turn. During a heated argument, one of the girls, Sana, accidentally fell from the roof, her life abruptly cut short. What made the event even more chilling was the discovery of a cassette recorder lying next to her body, still running, capturing only eerie silence and an unresolved mystery. Over the years, rumors swirled about the circumstances of her death, and the school became shrouded in whispers of lingering spirits and unanswered questions.

Thirty-two years later, Honoka (Nagisa Shibuya), a young woman, arrives at the same school, hired to teach summer classes. As Honoka begins her assignment, she becomes acquainted with two students, Hitomi (Hayase Ikoi) and Takeru (Soma Santoki), who seem intrigued by the school’s haunted past. But soon, the past and present collide in a disturbing way: another student falls from the same rooftop, right before Honoka and her students’ eyes. As they grapple with the shock and try to piece together what they’ve witnessed, Honoka senses a disturbing connection between the recent fall and the tragedy that took place decades ago. Haunted by the past, she’s compelled to uncover the truth behind these tragic events, unaware of the dark secrets waiting to emerge.
