Waiting for her husband to return home, Honami opens the front door to find her drunk husband accompanied by a colleague. This colleague, though a contemporary of her husband's, is far more successful—now a department manager while her husband remains stagnant. One day, her husband fails to get out of bed, paralyzed after making a serious mistake at work. Worried and desperate, Honami visits his company and pleads with the manager to help cover up her husband's error—but things take an unexpected turn.
