Sayaka, a temporary employee at the monthly Atlas editorial department, is given the opportunity to submit a proposal for this summer's constitutional law special, as her senior editorial staff are tasked with interviewing famous people such as Beate Sirota Gordon and Jiro Shirazu. At that time, on her mother's advice, Sayaka decides to interview Yasuzo Suzuki, an independent constitutional law scholar, whose name she has never heard of. From the testimony of Yasuzo's daughters Akiko and Junko, as well as Yasuzo's own diary, Sayaka learns of Yasuzo's struggles and nobility as a constitutional law scholar during wartime, and approaches the heart of the true drama surrounding the birth of the Japanese Constitution.
