After Nakadai turns to robbery rather than take a demeaning job, he commits a series of murders. Nakadai's father-in-law demands that the thief divorce his wife so as not to disgrace her any further, and Nakadai kills his father-in-law to keep his marriage intact. At the finale, the ghosts
of murdered family members return to haunt their killer as he hides in a Buddhist temple, and there is no escape from their vengeance. Fascinating glimpses of sacred Japanese rituals.
