The year is 2003. Elementary school teacher Yabushita Seiichi is accused of corporal punishment of a student, Himuro Takuto, by a parent, Himuro Ritsuko. Corporal punishment is a harsh term, but the details of the abuse were unbearable to listen to. Weekly Shunpo reporter Narumi Michihiko gets wind of this and decides to report the case under his real name. The article, full of extreme language, instantly shocked the world, and Yabushita became a target of the media. Slander, betrayal, suspension, and a life that falls apart. One after another, bottomless despair grinds Yabushita down. Meanwhile, many voices are defending Ritsuko, and a "large legal team of 550 people" is formed, leading to an unprecedented civil lawsuit. Everyone was hoping and certain that Ritsuko's side would win, but in court, Yabushita completely denied the allegations, saying they were all "groundless fabrications." This is a story based on the truth, but one that makes you question the truth.
