The drama is based on the manga of the same name by Rito Asami. It is a suspense story about the intertwining of "love and destiny" between a parent and child caught up in a false accusation case.
Prosecutor Anan (Takiuchi Kumi) is handed a copy of a letter by Detective Akazawa (Fujimoto Takahiro), who says, "We have found a letter that Yamashita (Lily Franky) wrote to her daughter (Kokoro Mugi, Hirose) just before she was murdered."
When Anan, who had seen the letter, asked, "What do you think?" Akazawa replied, "I don't think it was written by Mr. Yamashita." Anan looked thoughtful and muttered, "I see."
Anan continued to look at the letter even after Akazawa had left the room. He sighed and looked at an old photograph on display on his desk.
Then, Anan called somewhere and said, "Thank you for your hard work. This is Anan. It's about Togayama. The letter from Yamashita Haruo in question has turned up. It seems his daughter has given it to the investigators."
The person who received the call from Anan was at Someda's (Sakai Toshiya) ramen shop and replied, "I see. I'm out right now, so I'll get back to you."
During the call, Someda said to the mysterious man, "You seem as busy as ever," to which he replied with a laugh, "Yeah, I guess so." Next to him was a backpack with a carabiner attached.
On social media, people were saying things like, "I wonder who that man with the backpack is? Why does his voice sound so unnatural, like it doesn't match up?", "The man with the backpack knows Anan and also Someda? He said that she seems as busy as ever, so maybe they've known each other for a long time... I wonder who it is?" and "I wonder who the man with the backpack is. He looks like the culprit, but maybe he's not the culprit."
Other comments included, "The man with the backpack sounds like Owada Shinya. Who is he?", "I feel like I know the voice of the guy with the carabiner backpack", "It sounds like Takasugi Wataru's voice", and "Based on his way of speaking and voice, I thought the man with the backpack was Furuta Arata?! But it's not."
