The Minoshima family runs an izakaya, and the 49th day memorial service is being held for the sudden death of their son-in-law, Mitsuru. The second daughter, Wakako, quietly steals Mitsuru's remains and smiles eerily. She had secretly been in love with Mitsuru.

Yukiko is a nurse working at a general hospital. Because of the long, hard hours she keeps, she is under a great deal of stress. One day, she meets Kenta, a handsome patient hospitalized with a broken leg. After an unexpected turn of events, they end up having a bout of wild, hospital sex. Yukiko falls madly in love with him and has never felt so happy. Meanwhile, Taeko, Yukiko's fellow nurse, is dating an intern who is heir to a fantastic fortune. Taeko shows all her skills in sadomasochistic play as she trains Dr. Yamada to obey her every command. Kaori, a humble, somewhat square nurse, releases her daily stress with bouts of shopping which only drag her deeper into debt. Then she starts working as an "actress" at the Image Club.
