Synopsis

A female leader and undercover investigations! Watch her trick others and be tricked herself in this thrilling con game suspense series!

Robberies done by hiring people for shady part-time work, identity theft, illegal drug sales, phishing, criminal organizations becoming more stealthy… One way to counter these very modern forms of crime is to “pose as one of the participants, and then round up everyone involved,” or to “pretend to be on their side, and then take out the ringleader.” In other words, undercover investigations. Tamiko is the leader of the newly established “Stingers” team at the Metropolitan Police Department. Having studied abroad in America and learned about sting operations at the FBI, she is one of the top career police superintendents. She is a professional investigator who freely makes use of disguises, improv, psychological manipulation, and even elaborate tricks. Her explanations are simple, but her orders are an enigma. Though her subordinates are at the mercy of her off-the-wall behavior, at some point it all comes together. At first glance she might look like a cool and intelligent investigator, but she loves to play tricks. With her incredible eye for strategy, she sees through the personalities of the people on her side, and makes the best possible use of them. Whether she’s dressed up in a uniform, a suit, as a lady of leisure, a jaded hostess, or one half of a silly couple, Tamiko can get into any role, but if her true identity ever gets out, lives are on the line…
