Ena’s reporting skills once vaulted her to the anchor chair of prime time news at Taiyo TV. But after burnout and a tabloid scandal, she’s since been relegated to the “career graveyard” of late-night show, Friday Bonbon. Friday Bonbon’s new director, Takuro Kishimoto, is also down on his luck careerwise. Though born into a life of wealth and privilege, Takuro is not particularly good at his job and faces constant criticism. But when Takuro learns that a man on death row may have been falsely accused of the serial murder of teenage girls, Ena goes back to doing what she does best: investigative reporting. After tracking down the evidence and realizing that a witness’s story doesn’t add up, Ena and Takuro discover that the case has links to high places. The Deputy Prime Minister, for one, may know more than he claims.
