Heaven and Hell: Soul Exchange Blu-ray Box

A struggling female detective played by Haruka Ayase swaps souls with a psychopathic killer played by Issey Takahashi! From woman to man, and from good to evil: the lives of two people are reversed, and their love and destinies intersect in the ultimate body-swap entertainment.

Ayako Mochizuki, played by Haruka Ayase, is a hardworking detective with a strong sense of justice and a drive to succeed, but she is also hasty. Once she has made up her mind, she charges ahead, often failing and irritating the detectives around her. One morning, she wakes up just before she needs to leave for work. Rushing around, she realizes on the train that she alone has forgotten to wear a mask. A man who happens to be aboard, played by Issey Takahashi, gives her a mask that he says is a sample of his company's product.

Meanwhile, a murder occurs. A supervising officer orders the detectives to hurry to the scene, but the only person present in the First Investigation Division is Ayako, who is currently suspended following earlier mistakes. Seeing the perfect chance to redeem herself as a detective, she declares that she will make a name for herself and rushes to the crime scene.

The scene is a gruesome murder in which pachinko balls have been stuffed into the victim's mouth. Despite the horrific sight, Ayako notices a strangely fresh feeling, as though the location has just been cleaned. Her easygoing housemate Riku Watanabe, played by Tasuku Emoto, provides a clue to this discrepancy. Riku works part-time at cleaning sites and explains that an odorless industrial cleaning agent exists.

The manufacturer of this cleaning agent is the pharmaceutical venture company Co-Earth. Its president, Haruto Hidaka, turns out to be the same man who gave Ayako a mask on the train several days earlier. Feeling something like fate in this person of interest known only to her, Ayako promptly goes to meet him. At that moment, she has no way of knowing that Hidaka, outwardly a capable executive who founded a venture business at a young age, is secretly a psychopathic killer who makes use of extraordinary intelligence and knowledge.
