Once upon a time, the birds and the beasts fought each other in a war. It was a terrible conflict, and the clever bats would side with the birds when the birds were looking victorious, and then they would become allies of the beasts when that side was winning battles. At last the war came to an end, the two parties reached an amicable settlement, and a great party of friendship was held. But when it came to the turn of the bats to perform in the program, their fence-straddling tactics were exposed, and everyone refused to associate with them. Since that time, the bats have been too ashamed to show their faces during the day, coming out only at night to flit silently around.

改编自昭和的代表小说家#松本清张#的推理小说「证言」，故事的舞台背景被置换成现代。石野贞一郎（谷原章介饰）与妻子幸子（西田尚美饰）结婚，继承了位于金泽的妻子的老家·石野诊所。他们过着看似幸福的生活，但事实上三年前他就开始与美术大学的研究生梅泽智久（浅香航大饰）外遇，为了隐瞒关系还各种撒谎，为外遇付出代价。原作中所描写的男人的悲哀与滑稽的本质原封不动，将主人公的不伦对象从女性变为男性，引入了双性恋、伪装结婚等现代世态，并且鲜明地描绘出一直忍耐的妻子让人意想不到的逆袭。出演该剧的还有堀部圭亮、吉村界人、山田佳奈实、宫崎美子等演员，由制作《积爱之人》、《武士的食谱》等作品的朝元雄三担任导演和编剧。

在一系列喜剧特辑的尾声，戴夫站上舞台，企图澄清一下事实，再说几句不吐不快的话。
