Mika (Shizuka Ishibashi) is a nurse who balances her work dealing with the deaths of patients with a part time job at a “girls bar”. Construction site day laborer Shinji (Sosuke Ikematsu) hangs out with Tomoyuki (Ryuhei Matsuda) and his other coworkers, but he can’t seem to shake his vague feelings of anxiety. One day, Shinji goes to a girls bar with Tomoyuki and his pals, and there he meets Mika.
