When high school student Light Yagami discovers a mysterious notebook that grants him the ability to kill anyone whose name he writes in it, his life takes a dark turn. With the world plagued by crime, Light decides to use the Death Note to rid society of wrongdoers and create a utopia where he reigns as a god.
