Aiko Yamada lives a cursed life. Her family members are blinded by their religion, her mother beats her, and her father sexually assaults her. On top of that, by no fault of her own, she became part of the 'Sakakibara Generation' - those children born in 1982, who society considers predisposed to murder. As Japan continues restlessly through the nineties and the news of Boy A shocks the country, Aiko begins to wish for a way out of this maddening world. Will she succumb to the fate society prescribes to her?
