Spoilers ahead
Fourteen-year-old Tetsuko “Alice” Arisugawa [Yu Aoi] moves into the Fujiko neighborhood with her divorced mother, carrying a mix of curiosity and nerves as she starts over in a new place. On the move, she catches a glimpse of a girl her age spying from the neighboring house, and soon after she discovers a stash of tests with poor grades tucked away in her own bedroom closet. At school, the environment feels strange from the start: a teacher, Satomi Ogino [Haru Kuroki], assigns her one of two desks that mysteriously never collect dust and sit atop letters that are scrawled on the floor. The class buzzes with talk of an evil spirit named Judas, said to have “four wives,” a rumor that soon becomes a kind of ritual.
