Synopsis
This police drama is realistic, yet filled with shocks and hair-raising moments. You won’t be able to take your eyes off of it until the ending is revealed…
Ten years ago, a drunk driver crashed through a railway crossing. As a result, 100 people died or were seriously injured when the train overturned. At the time, a vehicular manslaughter law didn’t exist, so the driver received a mere five years in prison for driving while intoxicated. But one day years later, his body is discovered at the site of the train accident, bisected down the middle, apparently run over by a train.
The detective in charge of the case is Reiko Himekawa, who rose through the ranks incredibly quickly. While investigating, Reiko learns of a previously unknown connection between a train station employee and the rollover accident.
Based on Tetsuya Honda’s best-selling novel, this series portrays bizarre incidents and a realistic police force. Each case is speedily solved in one or two episodes to maintain viewer interest.
