[Machine Translation] Akiyoshi, a section chief at a publishing company, received a shocking piece of information. The son of Director Kajiwara had mysteriously fallen to his death. Akiyoshi was working hard on a major project to create a high school for the new era, which would be located in the vicinity of the school (to prevent students from withdrawing from school and truancy). Akiyoshi, who had poured his heart and soul into the project because of his daughter's experience of truancy, had to temporarily stop the project. Rumors spread within the company that Kajiwara's son had committed suicide, and upper management moved to cover it up. Akiyoshi attempts to resist the upper management, which is intent on pursuing its own profits and protecting its own interests in the face of the boy's death. Akiyoshi tries to resist against the upper management, who are all too busy pursuing their own profits and protecting their own interests under the circumstance of the boy's death. There is no one in the company who can be trusted anymore. What is the fate of Akiyoshi, who has promoted the education business with ambition? What is the truth behind the boy's death?
