Miko Yakumo (Elaiza Ikeda) lost her father when she was 5, then her mother abandoned her the following year. Although taken in by her grandmother, she's left completely alone again at 18 with her grandmother's death. With an Iliad of woes, she shuts herself away from the world. One day, her mother's younger brother, uncle Goro Ikazuchi (Joe Odagiri) appears and offers her a part-time job including accommodation.
