Cases and Then Some

Thirty-six-year-old Keiji Nishiono runs a small private detective agency that is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. His only employee is Takato Eisei, a beautiful and diligent assistant who constantly looks after his hopelessly incompetent boss. Their struggling business takes an unexpected turn when they accept a case from a gay client who suspects his partner of infidelity. To investigate the matter, Keiji and Eisei must go undercover as a couple and infiltrate Shinjuku’s second district. The operation proceeds surprisingly smoothly until the final phase requires them to seal their act with a kiss. That single, unplanned moment shifts the dynamic between the two men entirely. Back in the cramped confines of their narrow office, a new and unfamiliar tension begins to take root. What started as a desperate job to save their failing agency slowly blossoms into something far more complicated, blurring the lines between professional partners and awakening feelings neither of them anticipated.
