Twenty years ago, a boy was rescued after his parents' apparent suicide in the mountains. Now released from a mental institution, he mentions a dark mountain shadow to his girlfriend. Meanwhile, a murder occurs in Tokyo, and Assistant Inspector Goda Yuichiro investigates. A second murder of a Ministry of Justice official points to a serial killer, but Goda is ordered to halt the investigation. He senses a deeper mystery and begins pursuing the killer, Marks. A journalist's research on a corrupt construction magnate and a 13-year-old unsolved mountain murder soon tie into the case.

Reviews
The actors were well chosen, and the characters they presented were concrete and coherent. The music in this drama was spectacular--from chilling to dramatic to sweet. The director and editors did a good job at compiling a lot of information and a really dense script into something which could be understood and followed without a huge amount of technical knowledge or several rewatches.
While I personally don't think this show has great rewatch value, I did enjoy it immensely. If you like straight up suspenseful and dramatic mysteries, this is a great, short drama for you. However, I would like to warn you that this story may challenge your feelings of justice, tamper with your heartstrings, and will probably feel a little hard to start. However, I would heartily recommend it to those who enjoy this genre.

Very Compelling
Very CompellingThis is one of the dramas that remind me why I like Japanese dramas. Very complex story with great delivery and lots of emotions involved.
I liked how each aspect was explored although the drama was very short (5 episodes only), also how much of it was realistic and obviously dark.
The characters were very interesting, I noticed that most of the actors were senior actors that I usually enjoy their performances (Sano Shiro and Kohinata Fumio for Ex.), Kamikawa did exceptionally in this one and it made me look forward to watch more of his serious stuff.
One thing that was spectacular about this drama is the MUSIC. AWESOME!!!
I recommend this drama, it's not heavy nor light. Just the right amount of suspense and detective work and flashbacks.
