Synopsis
A murder occurs in metropolitan Tokyo―the perpetrator unknown. Assigned to the case are Mogami (Takuya Kimura), the ace prosecutor at the Public Prosecutors Office, and Okino (Kazunari Ninomiya), a newcomer in the Criminal Investigation Department. Mogami sets his sights on one man among many suspects and pursues him tenaciously. The man Matsukura (Yoshi Sakou) is also the prime suspect of another unsolved murder for which the statute of limitations has expired. Okino, who considers Mogami his mentor, tries hard in interviews to get a confession out of the suspect, but the man continues to deny involvement and maintains his innocence. Eventually, Okino begins to doubt Mogami’s direction, and wonders if he is setting up Matsukura to be the perpetrator. The two prosecutors end up in confrontation, each fronting their own brand of justice. What outcome awaits their showdown?
