Mist and Shadows

A veteran reporter and a young journalist doggedly pursue clues through sheer persistence and intuition to unravel the mystery behind the sudden death of a teacher in the remote Hokuriku region. In pursuit of the truth, they are led to a web of corporate fraud, an inbred village, bundles of toilet paper, and flatfoots with something to hide as the bodies pile up.
