Synopsis

When a convenience store robbery goes wrong and the thieves hole up in a Tokyo hospital, holding more than thirty people hospital, famed negotiator Shuhei Ishida is called in to handle the case. But there is a complication: Ishida’s cancer stricken wife is among the hostages and fearing that his objectivity may be compromised he is forced to call in the only other negotiator available, Maiko Tono a young woman with a bright future until rumors began to circulate that she and Ishida had been involved in an affair and she was relegated to the archive room. This sets the stage for a complicated game of cat and mouse between police and hostage takers, a game shot through with layers of unresolved tension between Ishida and Tono, until the film takes a surprising turn and you realize that nothing is as it seems.
