Driving on the highway for the first time, Tomomi faces a series of traumatic ordeals, including discovering her husband's infidelity, escaping a crude truck driver, and ultimately getting her car stolen. Stranded and desperate, she receives unexpected help from a handsome young man and an elderly stranger who drive her to Nagasaki.
