In stark contrast to his elder brother, who is racing along the fast track to success, his younger brother, Reiji, leads a carefree life in Yokohama. He feels sympathy for Mie, whom his brother had dumped in pursuit of a career, but upon learning that she is suffering from a terminal illness and has little time left to live, his sympathy turns into intense love.
