Elementary school teacher Yabushita (Ayano) is accused by a parent, Ritsuko ( Ko Shibasaki), of corporal punishment of a child. Yabushita's daily life falls apart when he becomes a target of the media after a weekly magazine reporter, Narumi (Kazuya Kamenashi), reports him by name. Meanwhile, Ritsuko forms a large legal team of 550 people and files a civil lawsuit... This is the story.
