2020年の長編初監督作「いつくしみふかき」で高く評価された大山晃一郎監督が、囲碁を題材に描いた人間ドラマ。 港町で暮らす上条眞人は偶然テレビで流れていた会見で、囲碁世界チャンピオンのパク・ハンミョンが「日本にライバルがいる」と発言するところを見る。そのライバルは米原沙羅七段だと誰もが思うなか、日本で開催される賞金総額1億円の大会で、パクとライバルの直接対決が実現するのではという期待が高まる。一方、大会番組制作ディレクターの小坂正喜は取材で眞人と出会い、彼がパクと沙羅の幼なじみであることを知る。眞人がオンライン囲碁のチャンピオンだと知った正喜は大会への出場を勧めるが、眞人は過去のトラウマのため、対人で囲碁を打つことができなくなっていた。正喜の奇策により大会への出場を果たした眞人は、強敵たちとの対局を通して、ひとつの真実にたどり着く。 ダンスボーカルグループ「原因は自分にある。」の長野凌大が映画初主演を務め、韓国の人気歌手で俳優のパク・ユチョンが世界チャンピオンのパク、「49日の真実」の星野奈緒が2人の幼なじみの棋士・沙羅を演じる。
