Reito Naoi, a young man fired unfairly from his day job, finds himself hitting rock bottom when he's arrested after a desperate attempt to get back on his feet. With nothing left to him, he surrendered himself to fate, giving up on any hopes for the future, and lost the will to make his own choices in life. But one day, a chance encounter threw him a lifeline that could change his fate forever.
