Plot
Junko Aoki looks like an ordinary office worker but was born with extra sensory perception called pyrokinesis with which she can set fire to anything anytime. To suppress her uncontrollable ability, she takes her mother’s advice to always be careful not to show it. She is secretly in love with her co-worker, Kazuki Tada. One day his sister Yukie is murdered. A boy named Kogure is suspected as responsible for a series of murders of coeds. But the police are reluctant to arrest him, because he is a minor. Taking advantage of lack of evidence and enjoying the attention of the media, Kogure arrogantly suggests that he might be the killer. Tada secretly seeks vengeance alone. Junko tells him about her special power and her decision to punish Kogure and his group of thugs
Meanwhile, two detectives, Chikako Ishizu and Yasuaki Makihara, find that a series of fires have something to do with the murders. A new ESP boy appears before Junko. Koichi Kido can control another person’s mind merely by touching him or her. He tells Junko where Kogure is, intending to rope her in. To stop Kogure and his gang, she hurries to where they plan to attack their next victim. Fully exercising her pyrokinesis, she defeats the thugs one by one. But before she can give Kogure the final blow he makes a narrow escape.
Searching for a clue to the mystery of incendiarism, the detectives find a girl named Kaori Kurata who possesses both pyrokinesis and psychometry, the ability to read memories in human minds and things.
But the investigation is too slow. Junko is after Kogure, while the detectives are still in the dark. Behind them, a bigger and more hazardous trap is being set up…
