Plot

After awaking in an old European-style room, eleven high school classmates find themselves sitting at a large dining room table, with their feet shackled to the floor. They find that their situation could be related to another classmate named Miho who had disappeared months before. As they try to figure out how to escape, some of the girls start disappearing from the table one by one. The girls realize they each share a checkered past with Miho, but also suspect one of them could be behind the trap.

Cast

The main characters are played by the first generation members (except Miho Watanabe) of the Japanese idol group Hiragana Keyakizaka46. They go by their real given names: [2] [1] [3] [4]
