An aspiring lawyer named Light Yagami (Tatsuya Fujiwara) picks up a notebook thrown down to earth by a mischievous god of death. Upset by the ineffectiveness of the criminal justice system he takes it upon himself to execute criminals by writing their names down in the “death note”. When police officials start to get suspicious of the mounting death toll they seek out the help of a genius FBI agent named “L” (Kenichi Matsuyama) who begins to track down the murderer now known as Kira. Backed in a corner, Light starts to kill innocent people to cover his tracks as his true nature begins to surface.
