Rin is flying back from her honeymoon, madly in love and with a bright future before her. Then, Rin's new husband disappears to the bathroom and her thoughts begin to spiral, darkly, to a sinister place far beyond her control. 

Hitomi Kanehara's sensational novel follows Rin's life backwards through time: we see her at age eighteen, sixteen, and finally fifteen, as a picture of the shadowy core and violent past of this disturbed young woman gradually develops.
