But behind the facade of domesticity lies a hidden, darker reality. Kayo is a member of the largest, most secret club in Tokyo—a club without a name, without fees, and seemingly without existence. Its membership requirement is simple but devastating: a relentless, blind obedience to the gods of fashion and consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eAs Kayo rises through the ranks of this exclusive, liminal world, the cost of her \"beautiful\" life begins to spiral.
