Synopsis:
The quiet, coastal town of Kurouzu-cho holds a hidden unease beneath its everyday facade. Kirie Goshima’s ordinary life is subtly disrupted when she witnesses a peculiar fixation in a back alley, a glimpse into the unsettling changes gripping her community. As strange occurrences escalate, fueled by an inexplicable obsession with spirals, the residents begin to unravel.
The narrative explores themes of psychological deterioration and the insidious nature of localized dread. A growing sense of paranoia permeates Kurouzu-cho as relationships fray and reason gives way to irrationality. The series depicts a gradual descent into chaos, examining how an abstract fixation can warp perception and drive individuals to desperate measures within a close-knit environment. It offers a contemplative exploration of community, mental fragility, and the unsettling power of shared delusion.
