A young Japanese salaryman, Takashi (Asuka Kodo) is suffering abuse and difficulty in a high pressured sales position.
He manages, though a change in attitude to get a major account, but the loses it because of a mistake in an order form that he is sure he didn't make.
Finally he decides to quit his job, as he learns from Yamamoto there is more to life, and he reconciles with his parents.
Miki apologises to him, and he learns she had sabotaged his efforts to get new major account, as she was under extreme pressure, and him getting it would have meant more work for her.
In the end he finds out that Yamamoto has befriended him because his twin brother was also a salaryman who had committed suicide.
