Synopsis
Mima is a Japanese teen pop idol who wants to grow up, shed her little girl image and becomes a serious actress. But the image is harder to ditch than she imagined, and her fans keep it alive via the internet and some increasingly disturbing stalking. Soon, the plot of Mima's violent TV series seems to be copied by her life, and murders start happening around her. And it seems that she is being haunted by the ghost of her former self.
