During a tempestuous evening, a young woman is fatally shot atop a cliff; the following dawn her corpse drifts in the waters below. She had last been seen with a man now pursued not only for her killing. At the same time, a separated spouse employs Goro, an independent sleuth, to locate her husband for the family's peace. Joined by another law‑enforcement officer with personal reasons for hunting the man, Goro embarks on a path of sorrow and mystery to uncover the motive and link behind the killings and vanished spouse.
