Matsumoto Naho is a housewife who works part-time at a supermarket. She believed her marriage to her husband, Shogo, who works at a travel agency, was going smoothly as they entered their second year together. However, one day, a remark from a coworker makes Naho realize that their relationship has become sexless.
Feeling that things cannot continue this way, Naho resolves to rekindle Shogo’s interest—but her efforts only backfire. Meanwhile, Shogo is approached by his coworker Asano Ayaka, who tempts him with an affair, saying, “Won’t you be my friends-with-benefits?” Little by little, his emotions begin to waver. On the other hand, Naho, also struggling with a growing sense of emptiness, runs into her high school ex-boyfriend, Shirakawa Toru, by chance, and begins seeking comfort in his unchanged kindness.
A husband’s “betrayal,” a lover’s “ambition,” and an ex-boyfriend’s “devotion.” A “secret relationship” involving four men and women becomes intricately entangled, and the couple’s everyday life, after crossing the line, transforms into an unpredictable psychological battle.
