A tale of hidden obsessions and explicit desires. Ryuzaki, editor of Muscle Magazine—a publication featuring photographs of sculpted men—becomes involved with Kitami, and their relationship soon turns into sadomasochistic games that end in a horrific outcome. One year later, newly released from prison, Ryuzaki seeks out Kitami, perhaps to make amends.
