Reiko, a striking new teacher at an isolated high school, quickly becomes the object of her students' fascination. After tennis practice, she is assaulted in the locker‑room shower by a masked man, left naked and shocked, and discovers a solitary puzzle piece. Days later, two students enact a perverse revenge for her removing a teammate, making her suspect one of them is the attacker and forcing her to confront her desires and the puzzle piece mystery.
