The identity of her husband Yuhki, played by Hidetoshi Nishijima (THE WIND RISES, CREEPY, SHIN ULTRAMAN), is gradually disclosed through a thrilling plot development. This story about a husband and wife who lie to each other but love each other nonetheless garnered attention. At the end of the series, it is revealed that the husband works for the Public Security Bureau, and their marriage is a cover to keep her under surveillance. In spite of his mission, he falls in love with Nami and tries to convince her not to get involved in other people`s affairs. She is being monitored as a state-level security risk, and the bureau is unwilling to tolerate any more trouble from her. However, to save a friend, Nami runs out of the house and risks everything she has to confront the enemy. When she comes home, she finds her husband pointing a gun at her! A gunshot echoes through the quiet, upscale neighborhood... The movie picks up where the controversial ending of the drama series left off!!

She is told that her name is Kumi and finds herself as a newlywed living in a regional city with her husband, Yuji (actually Yuhki). Somewhere in his mind, Yuhki thinks that if her memory doesn`t return, they could carry on their happy life together as they are, but he continues to monitor "Kumi" as a part of his job with the Public Security Bureau. If her memory does return, she must cooperate with the Public Security Bureau or die. However, Yuhki knows that Nami will never choose a life subjugated by the government. He realizes that once her memory returns, their life together will have to end. In the regional city invigorated by the discovery of a new energy source, their life is simple, peaceful, and happy. But the city is divided over the construction of a research lab, and the hostility between the opposition mainly made up of citizens and the advocates including the mayor heats up day by day. There is a big evil scheme by the advocates and a state-level secret behind the new energy source. The members of the opposition who discover the truth die in suspicious circumstances. One of them is Kumi`s friend... When her best friend is harmed, the wife`s instincts awaken!! Nami gets her memory back but tries not to let her husband catch on. Then one day, Yuhki`s life is endangered right in front of her eyes. She can save him if she exercises her fighting abilities. But if she does, their life together is over.
