Seven years ago, when Kaji Hideki (Katsumura Masanobu) was still a surgeon at Teito Medical University’s Maebashi 27th Branch Hospital, he carried out an operation in absolute secrecy. That operation saved the life of Osawa Shoichiro (Honda Hirotaro), who recovered from a brain tumor and went on to win the elections in Gunma Prefecture. Several weeks later, Kaji received “red and white manju buns” as thanks. He went to an exclusive club in Ginza with this money and spent the night with a hostess called Shimada Misato (Kurashina Kana). Time went by. One day, Kaji, who was now a surgeon at Higashi Teito University Hospital, was contacted by Osawa who asked to meet. Kaji was excited to receive a call from Osawa who also served the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare and was acquainted with Hiruma Shigekatsu (Nishida Toshiyuki), the director of Higashi Teito University Hospital. Kaji’s career slumped after he met the freelance surgeon Daimon Michiko (Yonekura Ryoko).
