Set in a dark reality where the controversial Revenge Law of 2020 allows victims and their grieving families to seek legal, direct vengeance against criminals, the gripping thriller Get My Revenge follows the tragic story of Takahashi Yasuyuki. As a dedicated junior high school teacher, Yasuyuki was once strongly opposed to this barbaric law, believing in justice rather than bloodlust. However, his moral compass is shattered when his beloved wife, Izumi, is brutally murdered. Consumed by grief and unable to find peace through traditional justice, Yasuyuki makes the ultimate decision to abandon his principles. He decides to use the law he once hated to hunt down and avenge the perpetrator who stole his wife's life. Based on the popular novel Fukushu Shitai by Yusuke Yamada, this intense psychological thriller explores the thin line between justice and vengeance, forcing a peaceful teacher into a deadly game of retribution. Can he find closure, or will the pursuit of revenge consume him completely?
