Shoutarou Ninomiya, a father of two boys, is a workaholic who has not taken any paid leave in 15 years. This neglect of his family leads his wife to file for divorce. Meanwhile, Natsumi Okajima, a mother of two girls, has grown tired of her husband's repeated infidelity and decides to leave him. Both Shoutarou and Natsumi buy new homes with their children, hoping for a fresh start. However, they are swindled by the same person in an elaborate real estate scam, which results in the two families purchasing the very same house. With little legal recourse and not enough money to move again, they are forced to live together under one roof. Natsumi, who is wary of men, maintains strict boundaries within the house. But as their children grow closer, the lives of the two adults become increasingly interwoven, and a gentle romance begins to develop between them.
