Eureka is a drama, set mainly in rural Japan, and is mostly shot in sepia tone. It tells the story of a young boy and girl, Naoki Tamura and Kozue Tamura who are on a bus when it is hijacked by a crazed killer. They, along with the bus driver, Makoto Sawai, are the only survivors and flee together. But upon their attempted return to their normal lives, Makoto becomes a suspect in a series of murders and the children become orphaned. These numerous unfortunate events bring the three, along with the orphans' cousin, Akihiko, back together, forming a family and working toward reconciliation from the shared hijacking experience.
