On the 31st of December, 2000, while the rest of Japan celebrated and counted down to the New Year, the people in a tiny suburb of Tokyo, were mourning, and filled with hurt, anger, a sense of revenge—all sins that they were meant to leave behind. But they couldn’t. They wouldn’t. Because almost exactly 48 hours earlier, their town was rocked by the discovery of an entire family murdered, in a brutal, bloody scene, that till today, 20 years later, they still don’t have any answers for.
