Synopsis
Nakayama Maiko quit work and has just moved to Tokyo from Hiroshima due to her husband Takuya’s job. She is warmly welcomed by her husband’s boss Futaba Hajime and his wife Sei, who live in the apartment next door. Although Maiko is excited about her new life in Tokyo, Takuya has been busy with work. He comes home late and does not eat the dinner she prepares for him every night. Maiko becomes friends with Futaba through conversations across the verandah. As he is kind and a good listener, she gradually opens up to him. However, Futaba has certain regrets and secrets of his own. Then Maiko learns about her husband’s lies for the first time and what she had believed in thus far starts to crumble. Futaba’s secret is also that his wife is having an affair. The more Maiko and Futaba bond, the more they are drawn to each other. Reasoning that extending a hand to help when someone has been betrayed by a trusted person and cannot get back up is salvation, they tell themselves this is not an affair. Will the two of them end up crossing the line?
