Goro Zaizen (played by Toshiaki Karasawa) and Shuji Satomi (played by Yosuke Eguchi) are doctors who are interns at the same time, but they have taken completely different paths. Zaizen has become the de facto first professor of the Department of Surgery with his superb personal skills. Zaizen's aggressiveness threatens the retiring first professor of surgery, Shinzo Azuma (played by Koji Ishizaka), and Professor Azuma decides to appoint someone else. Therefore, the ambitious Zaizen seeks the help of his father-in-law, Zaizen Mataichi (played by Toshiyuki Nishida), the director of the Zaizen Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic, and the first professor of internal medicine, Ukai (played by Masato Ibu), and finally obtains the position of the first professor of surgery through bribery and gang formation. His colleague, Satomi, the assistant professor of the first internal medicine department, is a pragmatic and enthusiastic scholar. The different choices of the two led to different fates in the end. The powerful Zaizen finally reached the height of his dream, but found that he was overwhelmed by the cold wind, and the tragedy was staged. This drama is adapted from the masterpiece of the same name by Toyoko Yamazaki. It is known as the "Japanese national novel."
