Can you solve the "mystery" of its floor plan? A writer fascinated by the macabre is approached by an acquaintance who is considering purchasing a second-hand house in Tokyo. With its bright and spacious interior, the home seems perfect. But looking closer, the building's floor plan reveals a mysterious "dead space" hidden between the walls. Seeking a second opinion, the writer shares the floor plan with an architect friend only to discover more "strange spaces" dotted across the house.
