The Fable

The man the underworld calls Fable (Junichi Okada) is a hitman so good that nobody has ever matched him. His boss orders him and his associate Yoko (Fumino Kimura) to disappear into Osaka for a year and live like ordinary people. Kan Eguchi sends them off to hold regular jobs and keep their heads down, and the whole arrangement depends on a killer who cannot afford to be himself.
