With unparalleled logic rooted in time and watches, Tokino skillfully exposes false alibis for a 5000 yen fee. Her path soon crosses with Yoshiyuki Saji, a proud former elite police officer demoted to a rural precinct after attempting to expose corruption. Living in the same boarding house, Saji struggles with his new assignment and uncooperative colleagues, facing a baffling case he cannot solve.
