“Let me tell you what I will do tomorrow,” announces a man wearing a newspaper hat and posting a bizarre clip from an Internet cafe.
Meanwhile, at the cyber crime task force of the Metropolitan Police, it is the job of an elite female investigator, Erika Yoshino, to crack down on irresponsible acts committed online.
One day, her virtual dragnet snares an unsettling video. It is a man railing against an incident of food poisoning by a food company: “Those incapable of handling food will be thoroughly cooked themselves!” Moments later, a food factory is set on fire.
One after another, the newspaper man vigilante together with his cohorts, proceed to serve up their own brand of vigilante justice on the world. But in reality, they are embittered society dropouts who had degenerated to living in close quarters and doing hard labor.
The prophetic crimes eventually escalate to an alarming level with police fearing acts of organized terror. However, Yoshino begins to suspect that these are neither acts of terrorism nor crimes of pleasure but instead driven by a completely different purpose…
集団食中毒を起こした上、法律上の不備を指摘し開き直った食品加工会社に対し、Tシャツ姿に新聞紙の頭巾を被った謎の男“シンブンシ”が「食い物の扱いも知らないこいつらに、俺がきっちり火を通してやる」とウェブ上で予告。そして、その会社の工場が放火される事件が発生。その後も予告動画の内容が実行されるという事件が多発する。
警視庁サイバー犯罪対策課のキャリア捜査官・吉野絵里香(戸田恵梨香)は、“シンブンシ”が単独犯ではなく、複数犯であることに気付くが、“シンブンシ”は吉野をあざ笑うかのように、ネット社会で炎上した無思慮な当事者たちに次々と制裁を下していき、事件は社会現象へと発展していく…。組織的テロ犯罪を警戒した公安までが出動する大事態となるが、吉野はしかし、単なるテロや愉快犯ではなく、一連の犯行の裏側には何か全く別の目的があるのではないかと疑い始めるのだった―。
