Summary
A Tokyo salaryman begins to undergo a horrifying transformation, his flesh involuntarily mutating into twisted scrap metal after a chance encounter with a deranged 'metal fetishist' who shares the same affliction. As his body grows increasingly grotesque and mechanical, he is hunted by the fetishist, leading to a surreal, industrial confrontation between the two.
