Shindo Kaoru, a middle school girl who repeatedly causes trouble at school, decides to make herself disappear. Her home life has grown unbearable: she once admired her mother, but now her mother has become distant and neglectful, devoting herself to a new boyfriend who is sexually abusive toward Kaoru. Convinced that the only way to regain her mother's attention is to force a crisis, Kaoru resolves to run away—and ultimately to kill her mother. To carry out her plan, she intends to fake a disappearance and take an elderly couple hostage, forcing her mother to come looking for her.

Her classmate Hasumi Makoto, a boy with an unhealthy, obsessive fixation on Kaoru, discovers her scheme. He has long stolen small items belonging to her and now insists on joining her journey, claiming he will protect her. Reluctantly, Kaoru accepts his company. What begins as a desperate bid for maternal recognition quickly spirals into a harrowing road trip. The two teenagers encounter a series of violent incidents, shady characters, and escalating dangers, all while navigating their own twisted, co‑dependent relationship—a volatile mix of manipulation, fear, and a distorted form of love.

Over the course of three volumes, the narrative peels back Kaoru's trauma and her gradual transformation from a neglected girl into something more ruthless, while Makoto's possessiveness reveals its full, disturbing depth. Their journey forces both to confront the consequences of their choices and the question of whether salvation or destruction awaits them. The story is an unpredictable suspense thriller, marked by psychological tension, shocking twists, and a bleak exploration of familial neglect, obsession, and the lengths one will go to be seen.
