A character-driven romance about a drifting, morally ambiguous man whose life is disrupted by an encounter with a young woman, exploring desire and transformation during adolescence.

Incredibly indolent cop Tomokawa spends his time making fun of his mentally challenged friend Sukemasa, riding his bike all over the city and sleeping with married women. But his whole world changes when he meets Yoko.
