The world and life are boring. Kana, 21, lives every day with feelings that she has no outlet for. She switches from the kind but boring Honda to the confident and stimulating Hayashi and starts a new life, but gradually Kana finds herself cornered. Struggling and clashing, will she be able to find her place in the world?
