Synopsis: Painted in red, the word "von" is all that is left behind after a terrorist attack on a nuclear installation in Japan. The government is destroyed by its inability to act, and the police are frantically looking for ways to repress the perpetrators. The public has no idea - up to six months later, a strange video enters the internet. In it, two teenagers who identify themselves only as a "sphinx" directly challenge the police, threatening to cause destruction and chaos in Tokyo. Unable to prevent mass panic spread quickly around the city and desperate for any clues in their investigation, the police are struggling to act effectively against these terrorists, with Detective Kenjirou Shibazaki captured in the middle of all.
