In 2006 in Gifu, Rio Sanada (Yuriko Yoshitaka) was a 3rd-grade high school student who wanted to major in pharmacy at a university in Tokyo. She was a good person who was always positive with those around her. She lived with her father and her younger brother. Her father was the manager of the university male track team's dormitory. She helped her busy father and took care of her younger brother. She was very close with the players of the university male track team, including Daiki Miyazaki (Kouhei Matsushita) who had crush on her. One night, while Rio Sanada's father was absent, an incident took place at the male track team's dormitory.
In the present day, Rio Sanada is the CEO of Sanada Wellness. She reunites with Daiki Miyazaki after 15 years. He is now a detective. He asks her about a murder case
