In a contemporary society where violent crimes are increasing, there exists a team dedicated to resolving cases without resorting to violence. This team is the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the metropolitan police. Unlike other units that intervene after a crime has occurred, the SIT operates on-site as crimes are unfolding. They engage in high-risk missions, confronting criminals and skillfully negotiating with them. Due to the strict police hierarchy that limits negotiators' actions, the SIT is predominantly male and operates under strict discipline. Despite being a minority as a female negotiator, Usagi Reiko fearlessly battles on the front lines, challenging both criminals and the constraints within her organization.
