She finds sanctuary in a shadowy jazz cafe bar with her nihilistic brother Ryo and his rebellious friends. While social unrest simmers and relationships begin to falter, Misuzu becomes entangled in a daring plan devised by Kishi to rob a bank car of 300 million yen. As Misuzu and Kishi rehearse the dangerous heist, they quietly grow closer, forming an intimate, unspoken bond. On a fateful rainy day, they successfully pull off the heist, sending shockwaves throughout Japan.
