Trees rustle in early summer in a harbor town where Daimajin, a pure-hearted ex-professional wrestler, works at a desolate apartment block. He lives with his regret of not showering his son with as much love as he could. One day, Takuro, a solitary boy appears; although difficult to handle he is obedient to Daimajin. Whilst spending precious time together, the two are encouraged by each other's life, and they meet again with their own families. Facing a reality both of them had intentionally avoided, they gradually gain the courage to overcome their past pain. A reality of affection and emotional ties without pretense.
