“What color will the male flower of happiness bloom?”
Young Akira survives by snatching valuables from people on the streets. A chance encounter leads him into the world of male prostitution. With his innocent looks and fierce ambition, he navigates relationships built on money and desire, gradually making his way into show business. Luxury homes, fame, and fortune soon follow. But when a former accomplice from his criminal past suddenly reappears, threatening to expose his secrets, can Akira protect the life he has always dreamed of?
