Yokosuka in the early 1980s. The military town, which once prospered from the Vietnam War economy, was exhausted, lifeless, and in ruins due to the aftereffects of the Vietnam War. Fumio, who lived hand to mouth, working as a prostitute for American soldiers and selling yak. One day, Fumio is lynched by the group's thugs for a trivial mistake. Fumio, who was covered in blood and unable to move, was later rescued by a black man who happened to be passing by. The black man's name was Al. Although he is a military veteran, he did not return to the United States and continued to live in Yokosuka, aiming to become a professional jazz pianist. After receiving kindness from someone for the first time, Fumio falls in love with Al, but since Al is straight, he rejects Fumio's courtship, but out of concern for Fumio who has no place to live, they start living together as close friends...
