Story

A detective is called to investigate when a student from an elite school is discovered dead in a river. The school quickly dismisses it as suicide to avoid scandal, but the boy's girlfriend reveals he was being severely bullied. The detective partners with a sympathetic teacher to uncover the truth, suspecting a school initiation ritual ended in tragedy. His personal connection to a past suicide drives him deeper into the case, even as his superiors pressure him to drop the investigation.
