A talented writer, Ryota published an award-winning novel 15 years ago. Since then he had not produced any quality work. He got a part-time job as a private detective to make ends meet and to find inspiration for his writing, but in fact he just wanted to escape from reality. Divorced with a son, Ryota could not afford alimony as he gambled away his earnings. He finally resorted to scouring his parents’ home to look for something to pawn. Feeling hopeless to get back his ex-wife, the only blessing he had is the opportunity to meet with his son once each month. On the other hand, Ryota’s mother appeared to be more tough and calm. She managed to start a new life alone upon the death of her spouse. To Ryota, he had always yearned for doing the best for his family. Still, he was unable to be the grown-up person he had wished to be.
On a stormy typhoon night, the above four were brought together in a house where they finally got a chance to contemplate and reconcile their family bond.
