Description:

"Tsumi to Aku" plunges into a gripping murder mystery, exploring the lasting impact of a childhood secret. Twenty-two years ago, a small rural hometown was shattered when 13-year-old Masaki was found brutally murdered under a bridge. Fear gripped the community as childhood friends Haru, Akira, and Saku, suspecting an old man named Onsan, confronted him. A desperate struggle ensued, resulting in one of them killing Onsan, a dark secret they buried deep within.

Decades later, their lives have diverged. Haru now runs a construction company known for its "dirty jobs." Akira returns to his hometown as a detective after his father's death, reuniting with Saku at the funeral. The past hauntingly resurfaces when another boy's body is discovered under the exact same bridge, mirroring Masaki's case. Haru is inexplicably connected to the new victim. As Akira investigates, he meets Haru again, forcing the three men to finally confront the buried crime from their youth, unraveling a complex web of guilt, truth, and lingering consequences.
