When a depressed divorced woman receives a letter from her first love, her daughter secretly tries to find the Japanese lady her mother once adored.

Kotoko is a young mother who suffers from double vision and caring for her baby is a nerve-wrecking task that eventually leaders her to a nervous breakdown. She is suspected of being a child abuser when things get out of control and her baby is taken away.

Calm office worker Anthony, son of an American father and a Japanese mother, lives in Tokyo with his wife Yuriko and their little son Tom. Since Anthony’s mother died of cancer, his scientist father has been overly fearful for their health and rigidly subjects Anthony and Tom to monthly physicals. Walking home, Tom is killed in a hit and run before Anthony’s eyes. Losing their boy pushes Yuriko over the edge and triggers violent emotions in Anthony, whose body begins to transform. Little by little, his cells turn into iron. When the driver who killed Tom reappears and Anthony learns the truth about his father’s past experiments on human guinea pigs and about his mother’s death, Anthony mutates into a mass of metal – a human weapon fuelled by an uncontrollable rage.

When tragedy strikes, Kosuke, a successful fashion magazine editor, forms an unexpected relationship with the mother of his personal trainer boyfriend, who also works as a part-time escort to support his family.
