RUNAWAY

2004 · 1 season

A tense, morally serious crime drama that asks you to sit with uncomfortable questions about justice and second chances.

Genres
Crime, Mystery
Overview
Tetsuo Nagai (Yosuke Eguchi) is a probation officer who specializes in helping offenders who have just been released from prison and are reintegrating into society. To outsiders, this work may seem contradictory:while the law provides such safeguards for the future lives of criminals, it often overlooks the families of victims... He questions the slogan that “all are equal before the law,” but Nagai does this work because he, too, has made mistakes in the past. Society gave him a chance, allowing him to start a new life, so he believes that no matter what kind of criminal they are... people can start over. He hopes the general public will accept them with an open mind... but~~~ it is precisely because of this philosophy that he finds himself in an inescapable crisis!
