Synopsis
Former ace pilot turned Enforcer confronts past military trauma during complex CID investigation with veteran partner Masaoka.
Enforcer Teppei Sugou, once a distinguished ace pilot in the National Defence Army's elite 15th Integrated Task Force, finds his quiet life interrupted when a Ministry of Foreign Affairs scout arrives with an unexpected proposition: return to military service. As he weighs this offer, memories of his final mission resurface—an operation that would change the course of his life forever. During his last assignment, Operation Foot Stamp, Sugou faced an impossible choice that would haunt him. Now, as a civilian Enforcer working alongside the Criminal Investigation Department's Division 01, he must confront shadows from his past when familiar faces reappear under mysterious circumstances. Partnered with veteran Enforcer Tomomi Masaoka, Sugou becomes entangled in a complex investigation that forces him to question everything he thought he knew about duty, loyalty, and justice.
