As police inspector Yamato Kansuke pursues a certain man in the snowy mountains of Nagano, a shadow suddenly appears in his field of vision. While he's distracted, a rifle bullet fired by someone grazes his left eye and causes an avalanche accompanied by a roar. Ten months later, Kansuke, having miraculously survived the avalanche, receives a report that a researcher at the Nobeyama National Astronomical Observatory has been attacked.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nobeyama's real 45m telescope appears in the film; the observatory staff reportedly geeked out over accuracy requests.
Yamato's eyepatch continues anime's long tradition of 'cool damaged cops'—think Saito from Rurouni Kenshin meets modern trauma processing.
