Living with a beautiful wife in a nice house, policeman Jim leads a perfect life, except for his nagging mother-in-law. Then one day, he encounters a pervert caught peeping in the ladies room who blabs on about a plot of women trying to terminate men. Striken by the words of the man, Jim starts investigating. When the peeping tom is found dead, Jim even starts nosing in the pervert’s ex-wife’s life, without realizing his whole life is at stake. “Back in high school, I came across a tidbit of news which reports that all men are being slowly murdered by women. This report created in me an unknown fear for the opposite sex. For a long period of time, it was something I believed in without prejudice. I even collected statistics on how often the girls in my school used the bathroom. Why did they always have to go together? And why did they always spend more time in there than boys? What did they talk about in there? Did they cook up some exhilarating conspiracies?”
