Synopsis
37-year-old Makabe Suzune is single, popular scriptwriter who lives in Tokyo. Although she is having a clandestine adulterous relationship with drama producer Yanai Mamoru, they continue to go out with respect for each other. Just as Suzune is feeling that her life is on track, her former high school classmate Furusawa Mizue from her hometown of Shizuoka suddenly shows up with a young son one rainy night. Mizue has lost her job, money and even the home she lived in. Claiming that Suzune is the only one she can turn to, she tearfully beseeches Suzune to let her stay for one night. A bewildered Suzune lets Mizue into her house on account of nostalgia for a youth spent together in the school choir 20 years ago. However, this quickly becomes a promise to stay until she gets employment. Unable to cruelly thrust mother and child away, Suzune’s daily life and work get disrupted. Then, a series of strange incidents start to happen to Suzune’s surroundings. Through this reunion of two classmates who have led completely different lives, all sorts of dormant feelings erupt and memories that they were starting to be forgotten are resurrected. ~JDrama Weblog~
