Prosecutor Oda Toshiya is newly transferred from the Chiba office to be part of the super-elite Onizuka team in Tokyo's Special Investigations department (Tokusou). Deputy Chief Prosecutor Onizuka immediately assigns Oda to a suspected bribery case between a major general contractor firm, Dainihon Kensetsu and a prefectural governor.

Not trusting Onizuka's investigation methods, Oda decides to perform his own investigations. He finally makes headway when he manages to corner one of the subcontractors involved...
