Youhei Koen, the administrative director of Shodō University, is murdered at home. Detective Naoto Hoshino (played by Rentaro Mikuni) rushes to the scene and, after inspecting the living room, suspects that Koen, who is separated from his wife, is also involved with other women. Natsuki Tanimura (played by Rina Takanashi), a lecturer in the International Sociology Department at Shodō University, is a woman who will stop at nothing to get ahead; she started an affair with Koen, who has significant hiring power, six months ago. After Koen's murder, Natsuki is arrested as a suspect. Meanwhile, journalist Souta Maruyama (played by Ryuta Sato) receives an anonymous email regarding the victim's infidelity; he realizes someone is trying to sway public opinion on the case and decides to investigate alone. The police headquarters hastily closes the case, labeling Natsuki as the murderer; this move raises concerns for Hoshino, who suspects that Natsuki may be a victim of false accusations. A detective, a suspect, and a journalist—each troubled by personal issues, they find a common interest and work together to peel back the layers of the true mastermind behind the scenes, gradually approaching the truth. Who is the real culprit? The shocking truth hidden behind human "malice" is about to be revealed!
