Series Synopsis
The year is 1986. On the island of Rokkenjima, the wealthy Ushiromiya family gather for their yearly conference. However, the family’s head, Kinzo Ushiromiya (voiced by Mugihito), is on the verge of death. With his end imminent, Kinzo decides the time is right to begin a horrific ceremony.
Among those joining the conference is Battler Ushiromiya (voiced by Daisuke Ono). Happy to see his beloved cousins again, he doesn't care for the family politics. Little did he or anyone know, this would be the last night they would see each other alive.
Within the Ushiromiya mansion is a large portrait of a beautiful woman. To the family, she's known as the Golden Witch. Legend has it, this witch gave Kinzo the funds to build his wealth. Below her painting is a strange epitaph containing a riddle. A riddle said to show the location of that wealth. Should anyone solve it, they would gain the rights to the great Ushiromiya inheritance.
And tonight is the last chance to solve the riddle.
Kinzo’s true motives for bringing his family to the island is so he can resurrect the Golden Witch. To do so, though, requires sacrifices. The members of the Ushiromiya family have walked into their doom.
