Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Hiroki Shitara (Jun Shison) works for a weekly tabloid magazine as a freelance writer. He is currently working on a serial murder case in Tokyo, where all of the victims are female office workers. During his investigation, he meets Makoto Tsutsui (Yukino Kishii), who is the director of a TV infotainment program. They are totally opposite from each other. Hiroki Shitara would do anything to get his scoop. Unlike him, Makoto Tsutsui is sincere and honest and she is sympathetic to the victims and their families. Somehow, they end up working together on the serial murder case.
