Mitsuha, a talent and former popular model, participates in a hot spring location shoot for a travel program to expand her television career. The producer in charge is Sagawa, a tyrannical man with an outdated Showa-era mindset. Mitsuha absolutely hates him. Meanwhile, Mitsuha is secretly dating her young manager—a hidden relationship known to only a few within the company. However, Sagawa has begun to suspect something from the subtle distance between them.

If this secret is exposed, her position in the industry will be in jeopardy... Unable to resist, Mitsuha is embraced by the man she hates, and gradually, a masochistic side she never knew she had begins to emerge...
