[ Story ]

A music film about the struggles of a veteran detective who is transferred to the police band. Uchida Eiji, director of Midnight Swan, took up the megaphone and filmed the performance scenes of the brass band's famous music without any recourse to dubbing.
55-year-old Naruse Tsukasa (Abe Horishi), who has devoted himself entirely to crime fighting, is transferred to the music corps and assigned to play the drums because of his habitually problematic behavior. When he goes to the band's office in a rural town, he finds that it is full of outcasts whom he never encountered at the criminal division.
