Synopsis
New doctor investigates father's mysterious death at hospital, uncovering dark secrets and questioning medical ethics.
Two hours away from Tokyo is Kiyosato Hospital. Shuji is assigned to work there after completing Medical School, but the fact that his father died there during an operation while he was in college haunts him to this day. In fact, the reason why Shuji became a doctor is the fact his father died and he wanted to be able to investigate just exactly why he died. Since it was almost 10 years ago, he finds that he is running into a lot of dead ends. Upon reporting to Kiyosato, he learns that Dr. Takao (the doctor who was operating on Shuji's father when he died) is now the assistant director of the hospital. Also on the same day, he encounters Misako, someone from his past who was important to him during that difficult time. However, Shuji soon discovers that the circumstances surrounding his father's death may be more complex than he initially believed, leading him to question everything he thought he knew about that fateful day. As he delves deeper into the hospital's past, he finds himself drawn into a web of secrets that will challenge his understanding of truth, justice, and the medical profession itself.
