Filmed on location and loosely inspired by American journalist Jake Adelsteins first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat, this crime drama series follows Adelstein (played by Ansel Elgort) as he descends into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo in 2000. After being hired as prestigious newspaper Meicho Shimbuns first American crime reporter, Jake quickly embeds himself alongside Detective Hiroto Katagiri (Ken Watanabe). As hes thrust deeply into the citys criminal underworld, Adelstein comes to realize that his life, and the lives of those close to him, are in terrible danger.
