The village on the island near California was home to 62 adults and 45 children, a hospital, and a veterinary clinic. It was a place marked by the presence of a foundation and a religious cult led by a two-faced leader who injected mysterious substances into the villagers over a long period. Unbeknownst to everyone, the hospital was a research center conducting human experiments. Periodically, villagers would vanish without a trace, but no one questioned these disappearances due to memory suppression during therapy sessions. Even the children were given special pills disguised as vitamin supplements.

One day, the village was found burned to the ground, devoid of any life or corpses. The incident was quickly buried by higher authorities.

Twenty-one years later, detectives encountered a case with the same modus operandi as the long-forgotten village mystery. One of the detectives, unknowingly connected to the past, had once lived in that village but lost all memories of it. As the investigation unfolds, countless questions arise: Will the detective uncover the truth? Who is the killer? What is the motive behind these killings? Is it the same perpetrator from 21 years ago?
