Description:

Based on a gripping Keigo Higashino novel, this intricate mystery begins with Hakuro, a veterinarian known for his strong sense of justice and a particular weakness for beautiful women. Having always felt like an outsider within the wealthy Yagami family, despite his mother's remarriage into it, Hakuro eventually severed ties after her passing. His younger half-brother, however, seamlessly integrated into the affluent clan.

Years later, Hakuro's past resurfaces when a captivating woman, claiming to be his half-brother's wife, urgently seeks his help. She reveals his half-brother has mysteriously vanished. Reluctantly, Hakuro agrees to join her in the search, only to find himself unwillingly pulled into the Yagami family's intense and cutthroat battle over a colossal inheritance. As he delves deeper, Hakuro grapples with the unsettling question: is his half-brother's disappearance directly linked to the family's greed and the massive fortune at stake? Their investigation uncovers dangerous secrets hidden within the Yagami dynasty, forcing Hakuro to confront a perilous truth.
