Screenwriter Yoshino Ichinoe, director Toshio Tsuboi, and producer Tomoka Matsumoto, the team behind Lion no Kakurega, reunite for an original human suspense drama.
Isomura plays Ogawa Riki, a young man whose background and identity stay hidden. Bando plays Haro Shunta, the narrator, the eldest son of a well-off family whose calm life is upended when Riki appears one autumn as typhoons keep forming.
The drama is an original work, not an adaptation. Isomura said he can reveal little about Riki beyond calling him a mysterious young man. Bando said he feels an unsettling atmosphere in the story and is looking forward to seeing where it lands.
