One day, he is informed that the branch is to be closed. Nozaki, who was prepared to be transferred out, receives a personnel transfer. To his surprise, he is promoted to an executive position as an auditor. As an auditor, Nozaki sees the fraud in the bank and decides to change the bank. He arrives at the "ultimate darkness" of the bank. There, he finds the shadow of Kyogoku Masahiko (Furuya Kazuyuki), the current president of Ozora Bank. To counter Nozaki, Kyogoku recruits Shingo Takeda (Goro Kishitani), a skilled bank employee, and Shoko Tachikawa (Nanako Matsushima), who is aiming to become the first female executive at Ozora Bank, and a fierce battle unfolds within the bank. The story soon develops not only within the bank, but also into the political world where spirits of the spirits of rivers and mountains are everywhere. Will Nozaki be able to stand up to the darkness?
