In the gripping drama Stranger of Mine, one long Friday evening weaves together the intertwining fates of several unsuspecting individuals. Takeshi Miyata, a straightarrow businessman still mourning his ex-girlfriend Ayumi after six months, is lured to a restaurant by his detective friend Yusuke Kanda. There, Kanda drops the bombshell that Ayumi is getting married, before spontaneously inviting Maki, a heartbroken and homeless diner, to join them. When Kanda abruptly leaves, Miyata takes Maki back to his apartment, only for Ayumi to unexpectedly arrive to retrieve her belongings. As these personal dramas unfold, Miyata remains completely oblivious to a dangerous undercurrent. Both Kanda and Ayumi are being actively threatened by Asai, a ruthless Yakuza mob boss, over a massive sum of missing money stolen from Asai's safe.
