Overview
A middle-aged salarman Hajime Yoshimoto was a workholic leaving all of the household burdens to his wife, Tamayo. As a result neither of them talked to each other. One day, Yoshimoto collapsed and passed away. His ghost, worried, appears at the house. In shock, his wife seems unruffled by his sudden death. He soon suspects she could be having an affair with the owner of the cafe. Fuwa, another individual, suspects if her father's intention truly lies as a family suicide as they sink further into debt.
