Synopsis

Food crisis occurs worldwide from the rise in grain prices due to conversion to biofuel and crop failure due to climate change due to global warming. Japan relies on imports for most of the major crops. Japan's government recently found that you fall into a serious state of starvation within half a year if imports were stopped. At that time, the agronomist Suzuki Mamoru is the one who succeeded in the development of genetically modified corn to grow at a rate of four times the normal. This miracle corn developed successfully over seven years in a laboratory deep in the mountains isolated from all surroundings. Suzuki named this corn "God Corn." Fund companies to try to monopolize the money tree that produces the God Corn. Government heard rumors of successful development of "God Corn", and tries to get the rights to this God Corn, and the huge profits that are bound to come with it. Suzuki is suddenly caught up in a swirling world of conspiracy.

On the other hand, Yagisawa Chikako of the Criminal Investigations Unit harbors a suspicion about the burned bodies of men found in the riverbed. This starts the investigation, and it might be murder rather than suicide or accidental death.

Synopsis

7 years ago, Suzuki Hajime was a biomedical scientist on the verge of a breakthrough in the human cloning research study he was undertaking. Due to the questionable ethics of human cloning, his boss, Sakakibara Michitaka had pulled the plug on Hajime's research. Hajime was also made to leave the university research facilities.

Today, Hajime is a GP at the local clinic. The private investigator he had hired to locate Tashiro Megumi informs him that Megumi has died. Megumi's estranged sister, Natsumi, now has custody of her 6-year old son, Shinji. Natsumi had not had contact with Megumi for over 10 years, and the sudden introduction of Shinji into her life was too much for her to handle. Add to that her tight financial situation, Natsumi decides to leave Shinji with Hajime, who had claimed to be the child's father. Uncomfortable with just sending Shinji alone on the journey to his father's side, Natsumi decides to accompany Shinji on the trip.

Meanwhile, Megumi's death has been ruled as a murder, and the detective in charge, Kuroiwa Tadatsugu, starts to focus his investigations on Hajime. The detective meets up with Sakakibara, to find out more information about Hajime. Sakakibara was shocked to hear about Hajime's son. He suspects that Shinji is actually the result of the human cloning trials that Hajime had carried out 7 years ago...
