Raita, a Japanese
businessman, just moved into an apartment building where his next-door
neighbor is another guy named Raito. But, as a private detective, what
that other 'Raita' does couldn't be more different from a humble businessman.
One night, in the beginning of a bizarre series of murders, one of the
private detective's clients is killed and has her liver removed. The next
victim has her kidneys removed and, the third, her lungs. The two Raitas
follow the clues and meet an eccentric painter who - supposedly - makes
his paintings with human blood and organ parts...
