In a street where no one lives, where ghostly lights flicker in the shadows, there is a whispered rumor saying that if children play the game 'Otokoyo', or hide and seek after dark, demons will come and take them away, never to return. One night, eight masked children play the game, each for their own reasons. A boy named Hikora has joined in search of his missing sister who played the game last. The street lamps flare though no one is there to light them. But when the game....and the terror....begins, it becomes apparent that the rumors were true, and that children do disappear forever; and Hikora discovers the fate of the one who is "it".
