Dr. Akira Katou is determined to secure a professorship at Meishin University Medical Center and reform the corrupt Japanese medical system. To achieve this, she must undertake one of the world's most challenging surgical procedures, the Batista, which has never been attempted in Japan. Success is crucial to her candidacy for the position. She recruits Dr. Ryutaro Asada, an exceptional surgeon whom she has observed before, as her first team member to execute the procedure.
However, Asada's disregard for hospital policies and procedures quickly leads to problems, placing Katou's career at risk. She must handle Asada with care to keep him in line, but doing so may require her to sacrifice her ultimate goal of challenging the flawed system. Is it worth compromising her larger objective to discipline Asada?
