In the late 1980s, amidst a societal view of organ transplantation as taboo, a brilliant surgeon, having honed their skills in America, is assigned to a modest local private hospital in Japan. Driven by the profound belief that patients in rural areas deserve the same advanced medical treatment as those in prestigious university hospitals, this dedicated professional fearlessly undertakes incredibly difficult operations, determined to save every life presented. However, as the nation approaches its potential first organ transplant surgery, the surgeon's innovative and life-saving endeavors face immense opposition. A deeply entrenched medical system, solidified by absolute power and antiquated customs, actively works to impede their groundbreaking path, creating a dramatic struggle against institutional resistance.
