In 1969, Kenji, an elementary school kid and his friends built a secret base during their summer holidays.

Years later in 1997, Kenji becomes a convenience store manager and leads a regular life after giving up his dreams to become a rock star.

At the same time, a religious cult and its mysterious leader, Friend emerges and a strange chain of events duplicating exactly the events described in the Book of Prophecies follow.
