When seventeen-year-old Kyle Kindall is imprisoned despite pleading not guilty, the judge – suspecting Kyle may have been poorly represented at the trial – assigns a trusted friend to find more evidence that may support Kyle’s story.
But Yuuki Takahashi is already dealing with a lot of stress in his life when Timothy, the judge, approaches him. After an incident rendered him with PTSD a year ago, he’s at war with himself as to whether or not he should take on Kindall’s case.
However, it’s not just his health at stake here; it’s Kyle freedom as well. Why would anyone still insist they aren’t guilty even when everyone and everything else suggests otherwise?
Yuuki can’t help but feel that something isn’t right and he’s determined to find out why.

While they navigate these challenges, Yuuki suffers the consequences of taking on Kyle’s case investigation.
