In 1989, it was the 64th year of the Showa era in Japan, but this year did not last long. With the death of the Emperor, the brief Showa 64 quickly came to an end. During these limited seven days, there was a kidnapping case involving a young girl in a certain place. The kidnappers demanded a massive ransom of 20 million yen and cleverly maneuvered between the victim's family and the investigators. Although the victim's father (played by Masatoshi Nagase) paid the ransom as agreed, the kidnappers brutally killed the girl. At a key moment of transition between old and new eras in Japan, the case codenamed '64' did not attract much attention, and even more than ten years later, this unresolved case still haunts many investigators. Now, Mikami Yoshinobu (played by Koichi Sato), who was part of the investigation team back then, is now serving as a public relations officer at the Gunma Prefectural Police, juggling between superiors and the media. As the time limit for '64' approaches, people seem to be reminded once again of this mysterious case...
