Story
Hida Kazami aspires to be a top skier just like her father Hiromasa. One day, a special genetic pattern that suggests great athletic ability is detected in Kazami and she becomes the focus of media attention for her striking looks too. Wanting to unlock this mystery for the development of a new sports business, a gene researcher Yuzuki Yosuke approaches Hiromasa to carry out further tests on father and daughter, but Hiromasa stubbornly refuses. In fact, he is burdened with a big secret associated with his daughter’s birth. 10 years ago, a newborn was kidnapped and his wife died. Who are the parents of this daughter? At the All Japan Training Camp, Kazami and other young people of different circumstances are training with various emotions. They include Torigoe Shingo who possesses the same sports genes to become a top athlete, but has no interest in skiing; Imai Erika and Kurosawa Kazuma who have proven themselves although they do not have such genes; and Kawanishi Shota who is reaching the age limit and feels a sense of urgency. Then a threatening letter is delivered to the camp. It reads, “Take Hida Kazami off the team or else she will be harmed.” At that moment, a young man is in a hospital reading a story about talent to the children. One day, the bus that Kazami had alighted from before it drove away explodes. A man called Kamijo Nobuyuki who had been on board the bus is critically wounded. Kamijo had confronted Hiromasa about the mystery of Kazami’s birth. Distressing facts are revealed one after another, and then an inexplicable event … …
