In the heart of Tokyo, a gruesome discovery sends shockwaves through the city as detectives scramble to unravel the mystery surrounding the brutal murder of an elderly man in a deserted rail yard.

A murder investigation unfolds in Tokyo, centered around the bludgeoned body of a John Doe, whose identity remains unknown. Two detectives, Inspector Imanishi and Detective Yoshimura, work together to uncover the truth, following a cryptic conversation at a local bar that holds the key to the case. As they dig deeper, they discover that the victim was a kind and benevolent person with no connection to Tokyo. Meanwhile, a renowned composer and conductor, Eiryo Waga, struggles with a troubled past, which may be linked to his present-day sullenness.
