Synopsis
Yumi and Takashi have finally purchased their dream house and have moved to a new town with their daughter, Tsugumi. Although they are happy and full of hopes, a tragic event overtakes them. Tsugumi disappears. While they search desperately with the cooperation of Yoshimura, Tsugumi's dentist, Tsugumi is found to have fallen down a cliff, and has been pronounced dead at the hospital. Yumi and Takashi can't believe her death was a mere accident. But even the police and media refuse to take their side. Takashi feels that the assailant is being protected and swears revenge. Through her heartwarming relations with detective Hikage, and Ryoko, a magazine reporter, Yumi tries to revive herself and her family.
