Rie is a high school girl whose family, once wealthy, suddenly falls into financial hardship after her father's business fails. With no other option to fund her college education, she is forced to take out student loans and reluctantly begins engaging in compensated dating. Masaru, a classmate who harbors feelings for her, can't suppress his emotions and starts stalking her. By chance, he discovers Rie involved in compensated dating, leaving him emotionally shaken. Meanwhile, a cold and calculating man named Kaneshiro, who claims to be a business consultant but is actually deeply involved in financial underworld dealings, becomes fixated on Rie. Having long desired wealthy women since his own impoverished past, he takes a strong interest in her and enjoys watching her compensated dating activities. Beneath the surface, however, lies a tangled web of complex relationships and conflicting emotions.
