Synopsis

What would people do if they were to receive extra time to take care of unfinished odds and ends in their lives? A mysterious group of judges appear before the dying lead characters to tell them the length of ‘injury time’ they have. Injury time is the time a person spent in vain in his or her life. The lead characters receive injury time right before dying, just as injury time is given near the end of a soccer match. This series of short stories depicts how the characters use their injury time.
Haruhiko is a news photographer looking to get a photo scoop. One day, he is shot by the mafia and dies. However, Haruhiko receives 4 hours and 17 minutes of injury time. Suddenly remembering his ex-girlfriend Yuriko, whom he broke up with five years previous, Haruhiko decides to go pay her a visit.
