Synopsis
True-crime drama explores toxic mother-daughter relationship leading to murder after years of emotional and physical abuse.
When a woman's torso is discovered by a riverbank, the investigation that follows uncovers a deeply troubled mother-daughter relationship that had spiraled into years of emotional and physical torment. This series examines the complex dynamics between Yaeko Miyagawa, a mother with rigid expectations for her daughter's future, and Hikari, whose life became consumed by the pressure to fulfill those impossible dreams. Based on true events, the story delves into the psychological toll of familial abuse and the circumstances that can drive relationships to their breaking point, exploring how years of escalating tension can culminate in unthinkable tragedy.
The torso of a headless, limbless body is found half-buried by a riverbank. It belonged to middle-aged mother Yaeko Miyagawa, and after an investigation and trial, her daughter Hikari eventually confesses to her murder. For many years, Hikari had been subjected to physical and emotional abuse by her mother, revolving around her failure to make it into a top medical school and become a doctor. Even after nine years of futile applications and entrance exams, Yaeko refused to free her daughter from this virtual prison. What led to the fatal stabbing that ended Yaeko's life? This series, based on a true story, will explore Hikari Miyagawa's experiences up to her greatest tragedy—and what happened to her afterward.
