"5 nin no Junko" delves into a chilling mystery following the high-profile arrest of Satake Junko, who stands accused as the main suspect in the serial killings of five men. This shocking case ignites a media frenzy, becoming a sensational topic across television variety and talk shows. Driven by the ambition to secure a career-defining scoop, journalist Tanabe Junko launches her own investigation into the murders.

Her pursuit leads her to Shinoda Junko, an former middle high school classmate of Satake, who eagerly claims a close friendship with the accused and invites Tanabe to her office for a revealing discussion. Concurrently, Tanabe receives an unexpected call from Fukutome Junko, an ex-colleague now a housewife, who saw her on TV. Hoping for a crucial lead, Tanabe visits Fukutome, only to be met with mundane complaints about the hierarchy within her company housing complex. The intricate plot further unravels when a mysterious man contacts Tanabe, asserting that he narrowly escaped being one of Satake's intended victims. This man carries a startling connection: his mother also bears the name Junko, hinting at a deeper, complex web of relationships surrounding the serial killer. by WOWOW
