Synopsis
In the 3-part drama Karasawa plays Yasaku Atsushi, the sales director of an electronics manufacturer who forms a secret restructuring team with six others to prevent the collapse of his company "Takumi Electric" (the name means "artisan" in Japanese) against a 3-month deadline by the bank to pull the plug. In addition, after being laid off when his lithium-ion battery project was frozen (possibly taken proprietary technology with him) the team has to contend with competition from a Japanese engineer played by Takahashi Katsumi who is working for an up-and-coming Chinese company. Furthermore standing in the way for success is a clueless corporate president given his job by his founder father and a reporter desperate for a scoop.
