Aired Tuesdays at 9 PM from July 22, 2025
About
Aoi Morikawa for prime-time drama first lead role—playing a razor-sharp undercover agent!
This completely original and exhilarating crime entertainment series follows an unconventional police unit as they carry out sting operations, tackling undercover investigations in a legal gray area still not fully defined in Japan.
From violent robberies through black-market job scams to the stealthy operations of organized crime groups...
In modern-day Japan, where sophisticated crimes are on the rise, effective tactics include “playing along to trace the masterminds,” “posing as insiders to catch everyone at once,” and “acting like one of the gangs to uncover the truth and take down the big players”—in other words, classic sting operations.
Since these undercover operations carry life-threatening risks if the agent’s identity is revealed, it offers thrilling, fast-paced drama that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats!
