Summary	Kinuo Yanagitaro, a lawyer whose life is dedicated to justice, is fighting to save his client, Morigi Kunimatsu, from the gallows. Convinced of Morigi's innocence in a brutal murder, Kinuo believes the truth will set him free. But when his estranged old friend, Kiyokawa Jun, arrives on a snowy night with a shocking confession, Kinuo's world is irrevocably fractured. Kiyokawa holds the key to Morigi's salvation, but revealing it means exposing a devastating secret: a clandestine affair that would ruin reputations, shatter a family, and irrevocably alter the lives of innocent people. Now, Kinuo must confront an impossible choice: uphold the letter of the law and condemn an innocent man, or tear apart the lives of others in the name of a higher truth. He must decide if the pursuit of justice is worth the devastation it may leave in its wake.
