Synopsis
Assistant Inspector Takeuchi Koji (Watase Tsunehiko) had failed to protect the prime minister 15 years ago while guarding him. The prime minister was attacked and as a result, Takeuchi was kept away from frontline duty. However, he is designated to be a security police again by that prime minister’s daughter, Ishinabe Kiriko (Takahata Atsuko), who has become a female politician. Although Kiriko is ostensibly a highly popular politician with the common people, she fires security police from the job one after another, ignores their warnings and acts on her own. In contrast to her glamour and approachability, she is selfish and not easy to handle.

Synopsis
Assistant Inspector Takeuchi Koji (Watase Tsunehiko), who had failed to protect the prime minister as a security police, retired from the front line. One day, he is suddenly ordered by the Diet lawmaker Ishinabe Kiriko (Takahata Atsuko) whom he had guarded while cracking a bizarre murder case, to protect the famous young violinist, Washio Hanako (Uehara Takako). Hanako took lessons in Europe from a young age, and won awards at numerous international competitions that catapulted her to fame. On this occasion, she has triumphantly returned to Japan for a concert tour around the country. At the same time, Hanako has also been supportive of the democratisation of countries under military dictatorships. It appears that her life is being targetted by a country’s military rulers because of the political statements she reiterates. Hanako is always accompanied by her mother Sayoko (Katase Rino) who works as her manager, and Takeuchi finds himself at the mercy of women once again. In the midst of this, a bomb is planted at a concert venue and eventually Hanako’s step-father Otani (Katagiri Ryuji) who was Sayoko’s ex-husband, is murdered. Is this a warning from that dictatorship to Hanako? The case goes international, but the detective (Sugimoto Tetta) in charge of Otani’s murder seems to think that the culprit is someone close at hand … -- [Jdramas@wordpress]
