Kei works in a cocktail bar, Ai as a model. Afraid of being rejected by society, Kei tells no one about her sexual orientation and, as a result, lives in anguish and solitude. One day, she meets Naima, an Iranian girl studying Japanese art. Ai quickly becomes jealous of their blossoming friendship, however, and Kei begins to feel pessimistic about her future with Ai, whilst Ai is afraid that she will lose Kei. Meanwhile, Naima cannot understand what Kei wants from her, although she is becoming more and more attracted to her new friend. All three are anxious and insecure, but as time goes on begin to share their feelings.
