Shinzanmono is the name given to a newcomer. In this case, the newcomer is Kaga Kyoichiro (played by Abe Hiroshi) an experienced detective who is newly transferred to Nihonbashi Police Station in Tokyo. A woman has been murdered and he has been assigned to the team investigating the murder. As the story unfolds he finds out more about the woman, her family, and the last days of her life; hopefully leading up to the apprehension of the culprit.
