Twenty-six-year-old Keiichi just got out of his dreadful former job, so it's no surprise that the sight of his abusive ex-boss still makes him run for the hills - and right into a strangely horror-themed bar. There, he meets Miyako, a kimono-clad beauty who lets him air out his grievances, and her quiet charm and love for horror stories has Keiichi so smitten that he wishes he can meet her again. But will he still want to be around her even after finding out the real reason behind her kindness that night?
