Kinuka Saijyo (44) (Hikari Ishida) took advantage of her husband Makoto’s (46) father’s death to move into the house that her father-in-law left behind in Kamakura. Her mother-in-law Chizuko (56), the father-in-law’s second wife, had a wild and flashy personality that made Kinuka uneasy, but she hoped to open a flower arrangement classroom, and she also hoped her family of four could relax in the spacious house.

On the day of their moving-in party, however, those hopes were dashed, as Itsuki Seno (38) (Tsubasa Imai), Kinuka’s ex-boyfriend, suddenly appears at her side. He says, “I’m being chased by a debt collector, and I need a place to hide.”

She was scared, so she tried to send Itsuki away, but he disappeared... However, he had settled into the Saijyo family’s garret. Since then, he begins to discover the family’s true selves from the garret.

Kinuka gradually learns her family’s true faces and the secrets that they kept silent about. Why in the world did Itsuki really settle in the garret, and how will Kinuka face her broken family?

When everything behind the scenes becomes clear, the shocking conclusion! The situations of these hopeless adults get complicated in this tangled story!
