Kazuhisa Fukase (Tatsuya Fujiwara) graduated from a prestigious university, but he leads a boring life. His only strength is making delicious coffee.

He was friends with Yoshiki Hirosawa back in their university days, but Yoshiki Hirosawa died on a snowboarding trip 10 years ago.

One day, he meets Mihoko Ochi (Erika Toda) at a coffee shop. He is strongly attracted to her.

Kazuhisa Fukase goes to a professor’s retirement celebration at a university. There, he meets Kosuke Asai (Yuta Tamamori) who went snowboarding with Yoshiki Hirosawa on that fateful trip.
