In a near-future Japan, a special judicial unit carries out a law that answers murder with the same method used against the victim. Its nine executioners act for bereaved families while carrying losses of their own. Their cases test the boundary between punishment and revenge, and whether either can bring comfort to those left behind. The law offers an exact response to violence, yet the emotions of the bereaved resist such a neat formula. Each assignment places the executioners' own histories beside the families they serve, examining how an official duty can remain inseparable from personal grief.
