Dr. Kenzo Tenma has it all. He is by far the most skilled surgeon at Isler memorial, a well respected doctor amongst his peers and is even engaged to the directors daughter, Eva. But all this changes one fateful day when a young boy and his twin are brought in with a severe head injury. With a very delicate operation on his hands Tenma faces the dilemma of choosing to operate on the young boy or operating on the mayor. Going against the hospital director's orders, Tenma saves the young boys life. This however comes at the cost of losing the mayor and along with him, Tenma's status at the hospital, his relationship with Eva and everything he's worked for. Nevertheless, Tenma still believes in his decision and his conviction that "all lives are equal". The following morning, the twins have mysteriously disappeared whilst 3 doctors and the director have been found dead. 9 years later a BKA agent is hot on Tenma's heels believing him to be the lead suspect in the murders. However, Tenma is about to be reunited with someone from his past who proves to be the reason behind all the events, but with no leads to incriminate them of their crimes. Regretting his past decisions Tenma sets off on a quest across Germany to put an end to the consequences his actions have caused, whilst along the way meeting characters who give him the courage and motivation to continue down this personal journey to redemption.
