Surgeon Kaji Hideki, known as the "laparoscope magician," is talented but driven by greed. His career has been hindered by his prioritization of money over status and power, resulting in a slower progression compared to his colleagues. Following a demotion for assisting in a surgery led by Daimon Michiko, whom he refers to as a demon, Kaji is relocated to Teito Medical University Hospital's Oarai 8th Branch Hospital in Oarai, Ibaraki Prefecture. Despite being hailed as a top doctor from Tokyo, Kaji encounters a moral dilemma when faced with treating Mifune Haruka, the daughter of a politician, for appendicitis, and Tanami Shigeo, an elderly man with an incurable illness whom Kaji previously helped. This situation prompts a clash with rookie surgeon Misaki Kenta, who believes that wealth should not determine the quality of medical care. The question remains: what choice will Kaji ultimately make?

Confronted with terminally ill patients and his unwell pregnant wife, Fan Tze Yu, Cheung Yat Kin carried the weight of the situation and grew restless. During this time, he crossed paths with seasoned retired surgeon Lok Man San, with whom he had a strained relationship.
