When his teenage daughter goes missing, former detective Akikazo begins a terrifying search that leads him into a harrowing underworld of drugs, sex and violence. The World of Kanako is both a visual and emotional assault on the senses as it follows Akikazo deeper and deeper into a web of depravity that gets more shocking than he ever imagined. He soon finds himself woefully unprepared for the revelations he discovers about himself and the double life his daughter has been living and how they ultimately affect all that he holds dear.

The World of Kanako is a no-holds-barred revenge thriller that takes on an operatic scope under the direction of Tetsuya Nakashima (Confessions, Japan's 2011 Academy Award submission for Best Foreign Language Film). Koji Yakusho (13 Assassins, Babel) turns in a tour de force performance as the troubled ex-detective embroiled in a personal hell of mystery, violence and his own demons.

The intense suspense thriller hits theaters in limited release beginning December 4.
