Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Set against the backdrop of a bitter power struggle between the faction of the chairman of the board and the faction of the vice-chairman of the board of a large bank, this business mystery explores the lust, suffering and vindictiveness of one of the branch managers caught in the middle of the struggle. The term “cold current” refers to a current in which those who, once in it, find themselves will never emerge.
