Big Dreams, Big Business

Masahiko Date, thrust into the presidency of the family electronics firm with the sudden passing of his father, is forced to learn the rules of business...fast. He turns to a friend, Akira Sekita, to help him run the company and realize his dream of being listed on the stock exchange. Things begin well, as they recruit a brilliant engineer and start work on a promising car navigation system. But the two men go their separate ways in a dispute over outside financing, and Sekita establishes his own firm. The methods the two employ, however, are strikingly different; Sekita is not above stepping around the law, while Date keeps his business dealings above board. Which will succeed? In an age when more and more young entrepreneurs are challenging the status quo, Date's "on the job" education in the world of big business is sure to inspire.

All newly-weds tend to be a little nervous. The very intimacy of marriage can make them wonder how much they really know their partner! Yet, sometimes this predictable and rather natural form of conjugal paranoia, turns out to be quite justified. In the case of Teiko Uhara, for example, the honeymoon is over all too soon! First her new husband Kenichi suddenly and unaccountably disappears. Then, to make things worse, someone murders Kenichi's brother Sotaro along with a mysterious woman named Hisako. It is one thing after another as the cloud of mystery thickens and the suspense amounts. Hisako's equally mysterious lover jumps off a cliff to his death; the police enter the picture; a manhunt begins. Is Teiko in danger ? And how much does she really want to know the truth ?
This is a riveting drama that you won't want to miss.
