SPEC: Life

A neon-lit Tokyo precinct in late autumn, the hum of rain on the pavement outside. Three detectives circle the same unsolved case, their old wounds and fresh grudges colliding under a new, watchful chief. A rookie with a notebook and a sidearm steps into the fray. Unmistakable echoes of 1980s procedural grit, but the camera lingers on the unspoken.
