A sophomore
at Titan High School, Jimmy Kudo is no ordinary teenager. Jimmy has
developed a celebrity status as a world-class detective, solving crimes
that leave the city's top law enforcement officials stumped and the nation
cheering.
One day, while at an amusement
park with his girlfriend, Rachel Moore, Jimmy unwittingly finds
himself at the scene of a sinister crime. Undaunted by the severity
of the situation, Jimmy employs his keen deductive powers to skillfully
locate the trail of the suspects. However, just as Jimmy stands
poised to solve the case, he is captured by two members of a mysterious
organization that operate under the darkest veil of corruption.
In an effort to permanently silence the young detective, these
shadowy men force Jimmy to drink a newly developed poison. One
that “can't be detected in an autopsy”. Miraculously,
Jimmy escapes death, only to find that the toxin has reduced his
17-year-old body to the size of a 2nd grader! Distraught about
his pint-sized appearance, Jimmy resolves to discover the whereabouts
of these evil perpetrators. He enlists the help of
his eccentric neighbor, a scientist and an inventor named Dr. Agasa.
Dr. Agasa's first suggestion is that Jimmy keep his identity
secret, even from his girlfriend Rachel, fearing that if anyone
found out, the dangerous killers would certainly come back. The
doctor's second suggestion isn't as easy – to live
with Richard Moore, a washed up private detective that also happens
to be his girlfriend's father!
Disguising his true identity
by adopting the name “Conan
Edogawa”, Jimmy begins a series of intricate cases, cracking puzzling
and sinister crimes, in a quest to unravel the secrets behind his
attack and the poison that shrunk him. Will Jimmy
be able to restore his true height? Will he expose the organization
that poisoned him? Can he keep from embarrassing his girlfriend's
reckless father and keep his high-school relationship intact? Can
he bear elementary school again?? The work of the miniature, but
extraordinary Conan has just begun in the international hit series
-- Case Closed.
