The Swan and the Bat (2026)
A kind-hearted lawyer is found stabbed to death. One man emerges as the prime suspect. With his confession the case should have been solved. But the suspect's son, Kuraki Kazuma and the victim's daughter, Shiraishi Mirei, both sense that something about their fathers' words and actions doesn't add up. When the suspect's son and the victim's daughter join forces, the very notion of the truth begins to unravel.
