Death Note follows a high school
student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds
within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone’s name into it
while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new
godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy
of life.
