He started to notice that those who live in the village of Kuge, were thrown into a hostile environment with suspense around every corner.
But the question lies that whether the latest police officer that roams the streets of Kuge village will be able to bring that responsibility to justice or not.
It is a thriller that will leave the audience gasping with shock after every episode was said by producer Teruhisa Yamamoto.

The drama is directed by Shinzo Katayama and the other co-stars included are Show Kasamatsu and Riho Yoshioka.
