Shunsaku suffered a spinal injury in a motorcycle accident and was paralyzed from the neck down at the young age of 36. One day, a blind woman named Hanae arrives to be his caregiver. Though Shusaku's ill-nature and verbal abuse increasingly frustrates her, the blind Hanae also harbors a tremendous sense of being deprived that she does express to others.
