When I open my eyes, I find myself in an unfamiliar car, in an unfamiliar town, in front of the on-ramp to an unfamiliar highway. Before I can process any of this, I see the fiery explosions of multiple car crashes in the distance, and without thinking, I stomp on the accelerator and race toward the scene. I soon find that I’ve driven straight into hell at full speed with no brakes, just like everyone around me...! In the midst of this insanity, I discover the corpse of a girl, and suddenly I know-I am the brilliant detective. And I must solve the mystery of her death.

The bizarre serial killer who crashes her victims’ cars while riding inside them strikes again-only this time, her target is one of the field analysts pursuing her! And just as the Wakumusubi stolen off this latest victim picks up a fresh drive to kill, Hondoumachi takes a turn diving into the murderer’s deadly psyche, leaving Narihisago free to investigate this new id well. What awaits him there is something he should never lay eyes on, and the experience may push him past his breaking point...

Not only has a Wakumusubi been stolen from the Kura, but now a mysterious group of masked men has abducted the “suicide princess,” Mana Tsurumi, from their custody too! As the sheer scale of this real-world conspiracy begins to take shape, a new brilliant detective is born within an id well. Will the hint they provide lodge deeply enough in Narihisago’s subconscious for his Sakaido persona to bring the truth of Tsurumi’s well to light?!

Häftling Akihito Narihisago erwacht ohne Erinnerungen als Meisterdetektiv Sakaido in einem IDBrunnen, wo er den Mord an dem Mädchen Kaeru aufklären muss. Gleichzeitig ist die Polizei auch in der Wirklichkeit einem Mörder auf den Fersen und so kommt es in beiden Welten zu einem rasanten Wettlauf gegen die Zeit.

Eine dritte Partei mischt sich in die Ermittlungen rund um den Autobanh-Brunnen und die mörderische Selbstmörderin ein. Es muss schließlich sogar ein weiterer Meisterdetektiv hinzugezogen werden. Narihisago stößt indes in dem seltsamen Raserei-Brunnen auf eine Wahrheit, die über die Grenzen des Brunnens hinaus einiges auf den Kopf stellt.
