Takemura begins the film as an 8th-year college student who has somehow managed to accumulate 840,000 Yen in debt. Abandoned by his parents in childhood, he has no one to turn to for the cash. One night a stranger with a grubby trenchcoat and grizzly beard, Fukuhara, bursts into his apartment, puts him in a chokehold and demands the dough, or else. Takemura agrees to scrape it up, but his feeble attempts, including a losing pachinko session, fail miserably. Then, the day before the debt comes due, Fukuhara comes to Takemura with an unusual offer: walk with him from Kichijoji to Kasumigaseki, for 1 million yen, paid on successful completion. Takemura has no choice but to go along. On the first day of the walk, Fukuhara tells Takemura his reason for it: He killed his wife and intends to give himself up at the Sakuradamon police station. Takemura, a law student, urges Fukuhara to go to the nearest cop shop ? if the police discover the body before he turns himself in, the hand of the law will be heavier, Takemura explains ? but Fukuhara refuses to change his plan: It's Sakuradamon or nothing.
