Description:

The Promised Land delves into a haunting mystery centered around a treacherous Y-shaped road. Years prior, a young girl was kidnapped there, her abductor never found, leaving Tsumugi, who was with her, deeply scarred. Twelve years later, the chilling past repeats itself when another girl vanishes from the same ominous road. Takeshi, a lonely young man selling recyclables with his mother, becomes a prime suspect in the new disappearance. Panicked by the accusation, he flees to another city, further clouding the investigation. A year after Takeshi’s flight, Zenjiro lives near the fated road with his dog. He dedicates himself to revitalizing the struggling village but faces relentless blame and hostility from the residents. This pressure gradually pushes Zenjiro into a spiraling madness, ultimately leading to a horrific case that threatens to unravel the dark secrets held within the community and the true nature of the Promised Land.
