Regrettably, Okura is subject to ridicule from their colleagues, who refer to it as a dumping ground or a place where detectives' careers go to die.

Senju carries the burden of losing a fellow officer in a series of unsolved murders targeting police a decade ago, driving him to persist in solving the case.

He is deeply committed to delivering justice and holds a personal motive for his assignment to Okura.

Detective Shinichi Tagawa from the top investigative team at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is tasked with looking into an unresolved case involving a robbery that resulted in a double homicide at a bar near Nakano Station. The incident occurred 5 years ago when a masked robber stole money from a bar staff member and tragically killed both a veterinarian and a gangster.

As Detective Tagawa delves deeper into the case, he discovers that the veterinarian's two computers were also taken from his residence after the murders. This leads Detective Tagawa to consider the possibility that the motive behind the killings was not purely financial, but rather a calculated act targeting the victims.

When Homicide Detective Kang O Su encounters a standstill in his probe into two apparently disconnected murders—linked only by the Tarot cards found at each scene—he turns to Seo Hae In, a woman with the ability to read Token-objects. She discloses that the murderers were distinct for each case, yet the victims were selected due to their ties to the death of a high school student. Eventually, it was discovered that the cases had another commonality: the suspects were all represented by the same defense attorney, O Seung Ha. Seung Ha's legal strategies for his clients significantly challenge O Su's determination to apprehend the mastermind behind the Tarot Card killings. O Su is reminded of an incident from years past when he fatally injured a classmate during a fight. Although he was acquitted of any wrongdoing and moved forward with his life, it now appears that someone is exacting revenge for the boy's unjust death by targeting those involved in his acquittal.
