Ingrid Lewis (Emma Appleton) is a barrister who once defended John Webster (Colin Morgan), who was accused of stalking. Initially having a lawyer-client relationship, the two gradually become attracted to each other and become close, but Ingrid, who has a fiancé, tries to distance herself from John. At that time, the house where Ingrid and her fiancé live catches fire… One year later, Ingrid suddenly receives a warning from John, “Your life is in danger.” Immediately after that, suspicious events begin to occur around her again… This is a full-fledged psychological thriller that darkly and vividly depicts the search for the truth of the incident while being at the mercy of John’s disturbing behavior and temptations.
This time, even though she knows she shouldn’t have anything to do with John, her seductive afterimage crosses her mind, and she is dubbing the role of Ingrid, a lawyer who is troubled by suspicions. It has been decided that Mikako Komatsu, who has played the voice of the main character in many anime and dubbed versions of popular foreign dramas and movies such as the movie “Kingdom for the Planet of the Apes”, will be playing the role! The dubbing of John, who
persistently follows Ingrid and toy with her, is done by Kenjiro Tsuda, who is not only a voice actor for animation, foreign movie dubbing, and narration, but also works as an actor in live-action dramas and stages. I will perform.
At the same time, a preview of the dubbed version has also been released! The story begins on a deserted bus with a sudden phone call from John, the man who had been stalking Ingrid in the past. Ingrid is confused and pushes him away, telling him, “Don’t call me again,” but John warns him, “You’re in danger.” And in Ingrid’s head, the sweet time she and John spent together comes back to life. A number of suspicious events occur in the midst of this… “You’re in danger too. You know you need me, right?” Can I trust him? Isn’t he the culprit? When Ingrid asks, “Why are you involved…?” Tsuda whispers sweetly in her deep voice, “Because I love you,” which is a must-hear!
In addition, Ingrid’s ex-boyfriend Mark (Elliot Barnes-Worrell) will be played by Kentaro Ito, who has a reputation for his unique low-pitched voice and reliable acting skills, such as in the anime “NARUTO” and “Golden Kamuy.” Ryutaro Okiayu plays Detective Nash (Carr Logan), who investigates a strange incident, in the anime “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba”, and plays a wide range of characters, including the strongest demon Kuroshimu and Zhuge Liang from “Paripi Kongming”, with his cool voice. It has been decided that Ingrid’s best friend Suzanne (Olivia Drima) will be played by Hinako Takahashi, whose father is former Hiroshima Toyo Carp legend Yoshihiko Takahashi, who has dubbed for many anime, movies, and dramas with her excellent acting skills! Please look forward to this authentic psychological thriller where you are at the mercy of a dangerous British gentleman. [Notice]

It’s an interesting combination of the mystery of finding the culprit and the thrill of a human drama.
John, the character I will play, is a former stalker of the main character, Ingrid.
The relationship between Ingrid and John is thrilling.
There are many other suspicious characters lined up. This is a drama like never before.
Please take a look.
