A pawnbroker is found murdered in a remote town in a derelict building. Three people come under suspicion but all of them have perfect alibis and the investigation comes to a standstill. Almost fifteen years pass and the lead inspector decides to re-investigate.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Adapted from Keigo Higashino's novel 'Journey Under the Midnight Sun,' but the film shifts focus to the killers' twisted romance rather than the detective's pursuit.
