Possessing a tool that should remain only in the hands of God, Light decides to create an ideal world, judging criminals at his own discretion. However, his actions spark an international investigation. The ICPO places L, an eccentric genius detective famous for solving unsolvable cases, within the Japanese police force to investigate.
