Synopsis
28-year-old Kunishita Ichiro, an investigator at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s Public Safety Bureau, has yet to come to terms with the quick closure of a missing persons case dubbed the Joker case that he investigated three years ago and continues to bargain with Taguchi Akira, the bureau chief, to reopen it. But he is ordered on a completely different mission by Taguchi who wants him to carry out secret surveillance on Hanabusa Shiro, a young boss of Minegami-gumi, a designated organised crime group. A man of many mysteries, Hanabusa had been a part-time worker until three years ago when he infiltrated the group for a certain purpose and got to the top in remarkable speed. After that, he established ties with leading figures in various circles including political and business establishments and became a man with powerful influence. Kunishita questions the decision to keep an eye on a gangster but Taguchi does not give any answers. While tracking Hanabusa’s movements, Kunishita discovers a man covered in injuries and on the verge of death. He learns about a fight club at Hanabusa’s members-only salon from this man called Shiraishi and successfully penetrates the salon by passing himself off as a fight club challenger. In the course of getting close to Hanabusa for his mission, Kunishita learns a startling truth. He and Hanabusa decide to form a fake lovers’ pact in order to hide their collaboration. As they secretly investigate a case that has been shrouded in darkness, they get dragged into a huge conspiracy that will gradually shake the country and is also tied to their own destinies.
