Reiji Kurose was born in the countryside and has spent his life believing he can never leave his hometown. He cannot leave his mother alone with his reclusive brother and demented grandmother, nor can he escape the clutches of Gen Minegishi, who keeps Reiji at his beck and call. In contrast, his childhood friend Sakuko Akiyama sees beyond the nothingness of their dreary town and dreams of the chaotic glamour of Tokyo.

As a way to escape his monotonous life, Reiji finds solace in watching the performances of “Acrylic,” an idol group, and its most beautiful member, Nagi Aoe. But when he encounters the famous idol behind a convenience store in his dreary town, he little foresees that he will soon be caught up in a series of scandalous events that seem to be repercussions from times past. Robbed of his innocence, Reiji struggles to cross the abyss of sin he has been pulled into, while an intricate web of lies, obsession, and betrayal threatens to tear him apart.
