Bartender Junpei Hamamoto (Kengo Kora), who witnessed the hit-and-run take place, realizes the person arrested for that incident is not the person he saw driving. Junpei believes the person responsible is world famous cellist Keiji Minato and his older brother has taken the rap for him.
Junpei and his friend Tomoki then decide to blackmail Keiji for money, but Keiji's manager Yuko (Kyoka Suzuki) blocks their plans. Junpei is overwhelmed by Yuko and gives up. Meanwhile, Yuko becomes interested in Junpei who seems to be loved by everyone. Soon, Yuko's enemy and villain appears.
