Asuka Sakura (Yuki Uchida), a twenty-eight year old moderately successful freelance writer with a hectic and stressful life filled with deadlines and demanding editors, suddenly awakens to find herself restrained in a white room in a psychiatric ward with no memory of how she got there.

A nurse reveals that Sakura has been in a coma for three days following a failed suicide attempt after which she was discovered and brought to the hospital by her live-in boyfriend, Tetsuo (Kudo Kankuro), who found her unconscious.

As time goes on, Sakura begins remembering details of the events prior to her hospitalization and it starts to become less clear whether she intended to commit suicide or not as it is shown her day consisted mostly of interviewing people, fielding calls from editors about deadlines, watching television, drinking, and taking sleeping pills.

Through a series of flashbacks narrated over by a deadpan Sakura in the hospital, she confronts her past as it is revealed that she was once a model and that she had been married and divorced prior to her relationship with Tetsuo, who was the one that was giving her leads to her writing gigs that resulted in growing stress as deadlines piled up.

Having come to terms with her past and learning how to cope and take control of her life again, she is released from the ward and is seen laughing at something she sees through a car window.
