Five women, each of them destitute for different reasons, were brought to a place in the middle of a vast forest. The women were brought to a place in a vast forest of unknown location. According to the organizer's explanation, if they could escape from the three hunters for five hours, they would get 10,000 yen per minute, or 3 million yen in total. However, if caught by the hunters, death would await them. Can the women escape? The curtain rises on a real manhunt that puts lives on the line.
