R, a man of Korean origin, is sentenced to death in Japan for the rape and murder of two teenage girls. After his hanging-and against all logic-he is found still alive once he has been taken down. The prison officials therefore wish to carry out the execution again, but there's a problem: R no longer remembers who he is, let alone the murders he committed. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to hang him again, and so the authorities decide to make every effort to help him recover his memory by having him reenact the crimes he committed.
