Umezawa Rika travaille dans une banque où clients et supérieurs ont une bonne opinion d'elle mais reste assez incomprise par son mari. Elle finit un jour par se laisser tenter par une aventure avec Hirabayashi Kota, un étudiant largement plus jeune qu'elle et petit-fils d'un de ses clients. Kota est endetté jusqu'au cou et Rika, prise de pitié par sa situation et également dégoutée par les montants faramineux qui lui passent entre les mains dans le cadre de son travail, lui prête une forte somme d'argent qu'elle a détournée en profitant de sa situation à la banque. Mais Rika vient alors de mettre la main dans un engrenage fatal. Elle multiplie les vols pour s'inventer un train de vie luxueux devant Kota et n'a d'autre choix que de détourner de plus en plus d'argent. Jusqu'à attirer l'attention de sa collègue Sumi.

In present-day Tokyo, 23-year-old Sawako Kimura (Hikari Mitsushima) is in her fifth part-time job and with her fifth boyfriend since leaving high school. Kenichi Arai (Masashi Endō) is a second-rate designer at the toy company where Sawako works, and has a four-year-old daughter, Kayoko (Kira Aihara). Kenichi keeps pressing Sawako to marry him, but she considers him "only average" (as indeed she considers herself "nothing special"), and on top of that she dislikes children. At the same time, Sawako's uncle, Nobuo (Ryo Iwamatsu) keeps phoning, asking her to return to her hometown, as her father Tadao (Kotaro Shiga) is dying from cirrhosis of the liver and wants her to take over the failing freshwater clam packing company he owns. When Kenichi is fired from his toy-designer job, he persuades the reluctant Sawako to accept the offer to return home, and to take him and Kayoko along into the bargain. The trio arrive in the Pacific coast town of Kawaminami in southern Japan, where Sawako finds herself scorned by the womenfolk for having run away from home five years earlier with her high school tennis club captain, Yoshio (Ryu Morioka). At this point Sawako is forced to decide what she wants to do with the company, Kenichi, Kayoko, and her whole life.
