Synopsis

Early in the morning of a private home, the dead bodies of an elderly person and director of a nursing home center are discovered, leading public prosecutor Otomo Hidemi (Nagasawa Masami) down a trail of perplexity. The center has an unusually high mortality rate among the old with more than 40 people having been found dead since a particular employee began his shifts. The suspect in question, Shiba Munenori (Matsuyama Kenichi), is a dearly adored and committed caregiver, but his confession stuns her—it wasn’t murder, he says, but salvation. Coming to realize the unsparing reality that caregiving families face, she confronts Shiba’s own belief under the justice of law.
