The story starts with Seiji Take (Kazunari), a man whose life is at rock bottom. He had quit his job after three months, has lost his dreams, money, and doesn’t get along with his family. But after he finds out his mother is suffering from depression, he gets a part time job at a construction site and sets his heart on “buying a house for my family, even if I’m just a freelancer”.

One of the people he meets at the construction site is Manami Chiba (Karina), who graduated from a top-class university and joined a well-known general contracting firm. Manami, proud to be working as an on-site supervisor, is the complete opposite of Seiji. But while their personalities clash at first, they gradually come to understand each other.
