The premise

At the age of 10, Shin Tamura’s happy family life was torn apart when his policeman father was sentenced to death and imprisoned for murder. Now, some 30 years later, Shin is determined to prove his father’s innocence by solving the mystery at the heart of the case. Finding himself transported back in time, Shin must uncover the shocking truth, change the past, and restore his family’s happiness.

Horror Vault's take

Thirty years after his father's murder conviction shattered their family, Shin Tamura embarks on a desperate mission to prove the condemned man innocent. When a strange phenomenon grants him access to the past, Shin must piece together the truth buried beneath decades of secrets. This Japanese drama weaves crime mystery with supernatural intrigue, raising urgent questions about how much one person can — or should — change. Equal parts procedural and emotional gut-punch, it keeps its cards carefully guarded until the very end.
