The crash on Highway 101 killed three people and changed five more. In Tokyo, a detective uncovers a connection between this tragedy and a series of deaths near twelve bridges across Japan. Each victim is linked to a calendar month, and the only clue is a single name. This 2018 mystery thriller, based on Keigo Higashino's novel, follows a relentless investigation that peels back decades of secrets and a father's desperate sacrifice. A tense, procedural crime story where solving the puzzle means confronting a past buried in plain sight.
