Description:

In the gripping mystery drama Kageri Yuku Natsu (Summer Gets Dark), a major newspaper is shaken when a weekly magazine reveals a shocking scoop about their newly hired female university student. She is the daughter of a notorious criminal behind a tragic kidnapping twenty years ago. Back then, a newborn baby was abducted from a big hospital. Uniquely, the kidnapper demanded ransom from the hospital director rather than the parents. Although the criminal secured the money, they died in a fatal accident while fleeing the police, leaving the baby's whereabouts a permanent mystery. Seeking to uncover the truth, the newspaper tasks Kaji Hidekazu, a former star journalist who has since become deadwood, to reinvestigate the cold case. As Kaji digs deeper into the decades-old kidnapping, he uncovers a shocking, tragic truth that has been carefully kept under wraps.
