Akina, a high school girl, lived with her father in a small shack located at the edge of a golf driving range where her mother worked as a live-in employee. Her father had already become an alcoholic, unable to hold down a job, and her mother, naturally frail to begin with, collapsed from overwork and was hospitalized. With both parents incapacitated and no relatives to turn to, Akina lost all hope for the future and fell into despair. At her lowest point, a mysterious man suddenly appeared before her. His arrival would become a major turning point in Akina's life.
