Synopsis
Two detectives hunt Japan's 80,000 annual missing persons in a psychological battle of wits and wills.
In Japan, 80,000 people a year disappear. In this socially themed drama about a duo of detectives, the new recruit Mugino and the brilliant Terasaki set about to find a wide range of missing persons. Under their detective agency's banner of "Specialists in finding people," the two use the evidence left behind and the psychology of the missing as clues, becoming ever-more involved in a battle of wits and test of wills with the missing who have their various reasons to not be found.
