Description:

In the gripping crime thriller Unfair, Yukihira Natsumi is an intelligent, no-nonsense Tokyo homicide cop celebrated as the department's top case closer. However, her aggressive methods and tendency to push legal limits have earned her a reputation as a difficult loner. Deep down, she remains haunted by a traumatic hostage case from five years ago where she shot and killed a suspect, sparking public distrust and animosity from colleagues. As Natsumi struggles to balance her demanding career, the painful aftermath of a divorce, and raising her young daughter, a dangerous new threat emerges. A ruthless serial killer begins taunting the police by publishing serialized short stories that chillingly predict each upcoming murder. With time running out, Natsumi must push her instincts to the edge to stop the killer before the next story becomes a reality. Adapted from Hata Takehiko's 2004 novel Suiri Shosetsu, this intense drama explores the thin line between justice and obsession.
