20 years ago a half-frozen boy was rescued in the mountains after his parents apparent suicide. He gets released from a mental institution and his girlfriend notices him talking about a dark mountain shadow. Meanwhile a murder happens in a residential area in Tokyo. Assistant Inspector Goda Yuichiro takes on the investigation. Soon an official of the Ministry of Justice gets murdered in a similar fashion pointing towards a serial killer. Yet, Goda receives a strange order from above: he's not to further investigate in this direction. He senses a huge mystery behind the case and starts chasing after the psychopath killer called Marks. Somehow a journalist's research about a corrupt construction magnate and another unsolved murder that happened in the mountains 13 years ago are also linked to 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.
