The buddy cop series focuses on Tsutomu Madarame, a newbie detective, and Haruto, a man in his fifties who is known as the legendary thief "Smoke Crow." The unexpected pair team up to solve cases.
Sexy Zone's Kento Nakajima (live-action Silver Spoon's Hachiken) is playing Madarame in the live-action series, and Kenichi Endō (live-action Crows Zero's Joji Yazaki) is playing Haruto.
