Shinichi Kudo is a brilliant high school detective whose life changes forever during a visit to a local amusement park. After witnessing a shady transaction involving two men in black suits, he is ambushed and forced to swallow an experimental poison intended to kill him without leaving a trace. However, a rare side effect causes his body to physically regress to that of a primary school student. To protect his loved ones from the criminal syndicate, he adopts the alias Conan Edogawa and moves in with his childhood friend, Ran Mouri, and her father, a bumbling private investigator named Kogoro Mouri.

While maintaining his disguise as a child, Conan uses his genius intellect and a series of high-tech gadgets created by his neighbor, Dr. Agasa, to solve complex murders and mysteries behind the scenes. He frequently tranquilizes Kogoro and uses a voice-changing bowtie to deliver brilliant deductions, inadvertently making the elder Mouri a legendary detective. As the series unfolds, the narrative balances episodic cases with a high-stakes overarching plot involving international espionage and the search for a permanent cure to the toxin that shrunk him.
