YesAsia Editorial Description

Team Batista, Japan's number one heart surgery team, has lost three consecutive patients on the operating table - and the cause may be murder! Based on a best-selling novel, The Glorious Team Batista follows a storied surgical team who perform the difficult "Batista Operation", a procedure that requires the heart to stop beating for a period of time. Takeuchi Yuko (Be With Me) and Abe Hiroshi (Bubble Fiction - Boom or Bust) lead the ensemble cast as the investigating duo who must determine if someone on Team Batista is killing their own patients - and if so, why? Glorious Team Batista combines elements of murder mystery and hospital drama, as the investigators struggle with medical ethics as well as the chilling motives that would drive someone on the most revered surgery team in Japan to take human lives. Glorious Team Batista is - quite literally - a heart-stopping medical thriller, but the star performances from the comely Takeuchi and most especially the charismatic Abe Hiroshi help alleviate the suspense.

The "Batista Operation" is an innovative surgical procedure on the human heart that's quite risky - but Tojo University Hospital's crack team is working on a streak of over twenty successful operations in a row, earning them the title "Glorious Team Batista". But when a number of their patients die on the operating table, suspicions are aroused. The hospital asks internal investigator Taguchi (Takeuchi Yuko) to take a look at the 7-member team, and while she does uncover a complex web of clashing personalities and shifty motivations, she doesn't truly see anything amiss. Enter national health ministry official Shiratori (Abe Hiroshi), who strides into Tojo and orders Taguchi to reopen her investigation. He believes that murder is definitely on the agenda, and proceeds to run amok all over the hospital to prove his point. It's a point well taken, as the casualties continue even with Taguchi and Shiratori on the watch, butting heads all the while. With the reputation of the hospital on the line, will Taguchi and Shiratori be able to put their differences aside and determine which member of the Glorious Team Batista is, in fact, a murderer?
