Filmed on location and loosely inspired by American journalist Jake Adelstein's first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat, this crime drama series follows Adelstein (played by Ansel Elgort) as he descends into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo in 2000. After being hired as prestigious newspaper Meicho Shimbun's first American crime reporter, Jake quickly embeds himself alongside Detective Hiroto Katagiri (Ken Watanabe). As he's thrust deeply into the city's criminal underworld, Adelstein comes to realize that his life, and the lives of those close to him, are in terrible danger.
