In the gripping drama Suitei Yuuzai, journalist Kayama Seiji receives shocking news while covering a war zone. Shinozuka Yoshio, a man imprisoned twelve years ago for the murder of a young girl, is proven innocent. Twelve years prior, Kayama reported heavily on the case, convinced of Shinozuka's guilt and fanning public opinion. Now, Shinozuka's lawyer, Ishihara Yoko, demands justice, criticizing the police and announcing a lawsuit for his suffering. This revelation sends shockwaves through everyone involved. Shinozuka's daughter, Miho, has mixed feelings about her father's late release, while Hiroko, the victim's older sister, struggles to accept this painful reality. Meanwhile, detective Asada Kunio, the man who put Shinozuka behind bars, watches the fallout with deep regret.
