he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death
Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human
whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to
use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when
criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary
detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will
Light lose sight of his noble goal…or his life?
