For Satoru Fujinuma, a wrongful murder accusation brings a return to 1988. Someone close to him has been killed, and he suspects a connection to the childhood abduction and murder of his classmate Kayo Hinazuki. Now 18 years in the past, he has a chance to investigate what happened and prevent her death.

This time, the much larger leap leaves him trying to uncover the truth behind Kayo’s fate while protecting the people he cares about in the present.
