"BORDER" is a special criminal police drama created and written by Kaneshiro, with the theme of "justice and evil", depicting the story of criminal police officer Ango Ishikawa (Shunsuke Oguri) who hangs in the balance after being shot in the head, and later accidentally obtains the special function of "dialogue with the dead". Ishikawa believes that he should wash away the grievances of victims of unnatural deaths, so he vacillates between life and death, justice and law, love and ruthlessness, and faces various cases at the same time.

After that, what happened to Ishikawa and Ando? What does the subtitle "Atonement" mean? Kaneshiro said: "The latest Ishikawa story begins with 'that last picture'. Are you ready? ”

Kaneshiro mentioned: "After the last episode aired until recently, many people were asking me what happened to Ishikawa after that last scene? Every time someone asked me that, I was vaguely confused by my words. In fact, when I finished writing the final episode, the producer asked me the same question. At that time, I did not hesitate to tell him the story of Ishikawa, which had begun again after the end of the picture. Then the producer said in a passionate tone, 'When the time comes, be sure to make a new Ishikawa Story!' Now it seems ripe. ”
