Due to his short fuse, Kyota is never able to hold a job for very long. Instead, he wastes his days with his dead-beat friends, Takuji and Ringo. Meanwhile his father is a cross-dresser, and his little sister Akemi is a dangerous sleepwalker who is trying to divorce her dangerous yakuza husband. When their mother returns after abandoning them 10 years earlier, Kyota lashes out. But as their dysfunctional life together begins, something happens that changes this family's destiny forever.
