"Phantom Night" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Keigo Higashino and is regarded as a sister piece to "Journey Under the Midnight Sun." One early morning on January 17, 1995, a massive earthquake struck Hanshin. To escape the debts incurred by his father during his lifetime, Masaya Mizuhara (played by Takashi Tsukamoto) takes advantage of the chaos to murder his uncle, who came to guard his father's wake. Unexpectedly, the crime is witnessed by a mysterious woman. The woman claims to be Miho Shinakai (played by Kyoko Fukada), who also lost her parents in the disaster and, being alone in the world, is willing to keep Masaya’s secret of murder. Masaya is captivated by Miho’s beauty and gradually falls in love with her; the two agree to forget everything here and go to Tokyo to start a new life. Miho uses her beauty, body, and cunning to enchant men, gradually building her dream of an upper-class empire; all obstacles along the way are handled by Masaya in secret, but his life is forever shrouded in darkness. While Miho's days shine, Masaya's nights are dark, with the only connection between their worlds being a series of cold-blooded crimes carried out according to Miho's instructions. Meanwhile, Detective Wataru Kato (played by Kyohei Shibata) discovers a link - Miho Shinakai - among seemingly unrelated cases and begins to trace all leads. Will Masaya always protect Miho? And is Shinakai Miho her real name? Who is she, after all?
