Synopsis: Shinnosuke Orimoto (Hiroshi Abe) was forced out as the main anchor for news program Showtime 7. Now, while doing a live radio program, he receives a phone call. The caller warns of a bomb that will explode imminently. Shinnosuke believes the caller is joking and dismisses the call. Right after that, a massive explosion occurs at a power plant. The bomber appoints Shinnosuke as his negotiator and he sees the incident as an opportunity to get back his main anchor spot. He then sits in the anchor seat for Showtime 7 and begins an emergency live broadcast. [Source: AsianWiki]
