About this title

Synopsis

What if everything you thought you knew about your family was a lie?

A young man makes a shocking discovery while visiting his parents’ home. Along with a purse and a lock of hair that may have belonged to his recently deceased mother, Ryosuke finds three journals with notes that seem to be the confessions of a murderer.

Now, he has to figure out what’s fact, what’s fiction...and who are these people he’s called “Mom” and “Dad.”
