Shigisawa Rei, a lesbian who has devoted herself to her work, is fed up with a society that forces her to cater to the expectation of getting married, even though same-sex marriage is not permitted in Japan and she sees no future in which she can get married. One day, she bumps into Saya, a former colleague who Rei once had feelings for who quit her job once she got married. Saya asks Rei if she can stay at her apartment as she had recently had a falling out with her husband, and while Rei agrees to help she soon finds her old feelings for Saya bubbling to the surface.
