Approximately 1,300 to 2,000 individuals lose their lives due to medical errors in Japan annually. The Medical Accident Investigation Committee (MAIC) was formed to investigate the root causes of these incidents and prevent their recurrence. Comprising medical professionals and legal experts, the committee conducts covert inquiries at suspicious healthcare facilities to uncover hidden truths and eradicate wrongdoing. Leading the Seventh Unit of MAIC is Hanaoka Akira, a gastroenterologist known for his relentless pursuit of the truth. When suspicions arise during their investigations, Akira and his team persistently gather evidence to uncover the facts. Following orders from MAIC's director Toyama Akiyo, Akira and his team are tasked with probing a medical mishap at Myoe Medical University Hospital.
