SIGN
サイン―柚木貴志の事件―
A genius but uncouth forensic doctor teams up with a rookie female forensic doctor to challenge the authorities that try to conceal the truth.
Despite betrayals and conspiracies that they must face, the forensics and their colleagues look for signs on the dead bodies, which will lead them to justice and truth. Each case evolves into a dead-heat conflict between the “fake truth” fabricated by the authorities and the “real truth” reached by the forensics.
When a popular singer is found dead, the authorities start exerting their power that defies imagination, and they try to bury the “truth” discovered by the forensics.
