Plot

Home nurse Ichiko works for the Oishi family, where she is treated as a full member. In addition to nursing bedridden grandmother Tōko, she also helps daughters Motoko and Saki with their exams in her free time. One day, Saki, the younger sister, is abducted. When Saki is finally found by the police and the abductor turns out to be Ichiko's nephew, a media frenzy follows which slowly drives Ichiko into social isolation. Motoko, who over time has become a friend and confidante, first supports, but later denounces Ichiko, publicly giving away a secret from Ichiko's past which the trusting Ichiko had told her in private. Ichiko, forced to quit her job and left by her fiancé, develops a desire for revenge.
