Synopsis:
Koichi Sato stars as the detective Katsuura. He is placed in charge of a junior high schooler named Saori (Mirai Shida), whose older brother has been arrested on suspicion of murder. In order to protect the family from judgment by the rest of society, the police have changed their names, temporarily removed them from work and school, and separated them. Katsuura's job is both to protect Saori and to extract some evidence from her, but at the same time, his own family is on the verge of collapse.
Thoughts:
The movie is also getting a tv SP that will broadcast the same day it the movie makes it's theatrical debut. The drama will have the same cast but will focus on the cops and the victim's family while the movie centers on the suspect's family.
