Minare Koda ([[Fuka Koshiba]]) is a 26-year-old, single woman and she works part-time at a curry soup restaurant. She has recently gone through a series of troubling events, including being dumped by her boyfriend and getting conned out of money. Because of this, she drinks alcohol at a bar. At that time, the chief director of a local radio station happens to be there and joins her. Minare Koda tells her story about the recent troubles she has experienced.
