In Japan's snowbound north, a man (Ryo Ishibashi) has been laid off by the firm he worked for all his life, but he hasn't yet told his wife (Nene Otsuka), who is still sending their dwindling funds to help support their student daughter in Colorado. Each day, the man drives off, supposedly to work, but instead goes to the next village and whiles away the day in a panchinko parlor, playing endless games.
One day, he's approached by a stranger (Ken Ogata) who offers him new employment --- as a contract killer. He refuses at first, but the stranger is persistent, the pay is good, and eventually the man agrees.
After his first (offscreen) execution, he feels better. For the first time in a long while he enjoys mutually good sex with his wife, and he's on top of the world. He looks forward to further assignments, and for a while they're forthcoming. But, inevitably, there's trouble ahead....
