A sadistic criminal is turning his victims into human flower pots. Detective Amamiya Kazuhiko is called out of early retirement to work on the case, which is tied to horrific events in this past. His new wife goes missing and a mysterious cult with bar-codes tattooed on their eyeballs surfaces to wreak havoc on the city.

A brutal serial murderer cuts babies from their mothers' wombs. All of the women have barcodes tattooed on their eyeballs. The victims, under some sort of hypnosis, purchase the surgical quality knives used to kill them the day before their murders. As Amamiya's wife wanders the city in a trance, he discovers someone from his past is involved in the crime wave.
