Description:

All six episodes of Takashi Miike's shocking psychohorror mini-series. In 'Drifting Petals /Memories of Sin', a sadistic criminal is turning his victims into human flower pots. Detective Amamiya Kazuhiko (Naoki Hosaka) is called out of early retirement to work on the case, which is tied to horrific events in his past. His new wife goes missing and a mysterious cult with barcodes tattooed on their eyeballs surfaces to wreak havoc on the city. In 'How to Create a World', a brutal serial murderer is cutting babies from their mothers' wombs. All of the women have barcodes tattooed on their eyeballs. The victims, under some sort of hypnosis, purchase the surgical quality knives used to kill them the day before their murders. As Amamiya's wife wanders the city in a trance, he discovers someone from his past is involved in the crime wave... Chiaki Kuriyama guest stars in 'The Life Constructed in Double Spiral', which finds Detective Amamiya and the police team investigating the mass suicide of forty girls from an exclusive private school. Amamiya goes undercover as a teacher to find out why and learn more about a new generation of barcoders, many of whom are students. In 'Smashed Ants', perfectly-severed body parts with numbers cut into them are discovered in a field. In a nearby arcade, two rival youth gangs battle each other - and Amamiya's wife is taken prisoner by a gang leader. The Police Chief tries to put together more of Amamiya's hidden past with the assistance of a one-eyed snuff film maker. In 'Coronation of the Cursed King', cult members spontaneously combust when the barcode network is infected. The burn victims are taken to the local hospital where a lonely employee's cyber-girlfriend tells him to kill people. Detective Amamiya and his team lock down the hospital, while strange things happen on the secret 13th floor. Finally, in 'Ascension of Spirits and Bonds of Mankind', the police department denies that the barcode case ever existed in a massive cover-up attempt. But when the Police Chief's entire family dies under mysterious circumstances, Amamiya tracks the baby-stealer to a remote cabin in a snowstorm for a final showdown to recover his own missing child.
