Introduction
In a modern society in which violent crimes are on the rise, there is a team that tries to resolve cases without bloodshed. It is the metropolitan police's special team, known by the abbreviation SIT (Special Investigation Team).
The SIT doesn't get into action after a case but heads to the site just as a crime is being committed. They are on the front-line of risky missions, facing off against criminals; tenaciously conducting negotiations with criminals.
Because the cases that they handle - kidnapping, hostage-taking, industrial blackmail and the investigation of other heinous crimes - often comes under the spotlight, it often develops into a question of accountability for the police top brass. As a result of the rigid police hierarchy that can curb the conduct of negotiators, the SIT is also a male-dominated society controlled with strict discipline.
There is one female negotiator, Usagi Reiko, who bravely fights at the frontline. She is isolated in the male world of the SIT but courageously fights against crime as well as her organisation.

Episode 1:
A female detective fights a lonely battle in the face of various adversities inside and outside the police organisation. As Japan's first female crime negotiator, Reiko is assigned to the Special Investigation Team but Kirisawa and her colleagues are hostile to the high-handed selection by the top brass and treat her coldly. Amidst that, a hostage-taking incident occurs. With her keen perceptiveness, Reiko sees the possibility that the criminal is suicidal and advocates the need for negotiation, but the preparation for an assault mission is steadily underway. However, the situation abruptly changes as a result of the criminal's declaration that he will kill the hostage(s) in 5 minutes. Reiko is given the order to conduct direct negotiations with the criminal.
