A worldwide food crisis has arisen due to the rising cost of grain caused by its conversion to biofuel and crop failures resulting from climate change and global warming. Japan, heavily reliant on imported main crops, faces the threat of severe starvation within six months if imports are disrupted. Despite attempts by the government to hide this reality, they are exploring potential solutions. In the midst of this crisis, agricultural scientist Suzuki Mamoru unveils genetically modified maize, known as God Corn , that grows four times faster than traditional maize. Meanwhile, detective Yagisawa Shuko begins investigating a suspicious death by the riverbank, suspecting foul play rather than an accident or suicide. As news of the breakthrough with God Corn spreads, the government and fund companies vie for control over the lucrative invention, leading Suzuki into a world of greed and deception. The question arises whether this miraculous invention will save humanity from starvation or unleash unforeseen consequences.
