| It is the late 1990s where the banking industry faces the collapse of the bubble economy and a “financial big bang” which would make the financial regulator dramatically shift its existing policies. Nozaki Shuhei is the manager of Ozora Bank’s Jizodori branch and has endeared himself to employees and the townspeople due to his righteousness and empathy. But he is a long way from an employee leading life in the fast track. One day, Nozaki is notified about the closure of the bank’s branch. Prepared for a secondment, he hardly expects to be promoted to a board member with his new position as an auditor when the personnel transfer is handed down. After assuming the role, he is notified by a memo to investigate a company called Tanida Agency. Nozaki begins to probe but is instructed by his former subordinate Abe Ryuhei to stop. Witnessing wrongdoings in Ozora Bank firsthand, Nozaki makes up his mind to change it. However, he soon comes up against the “ultimate darkness” faced by the bank. And the shadow of current bank president Kyogoku Masahiko. The people against Nozaki are hotshot banker Takeda Shingo whom Kyogoku recalled from secondment, and the ambitious Tachikawa Shoko who aims to be Ozora Bank’s first female board director. A fiery battle is waged within the bank. |
