Ayukawa Sae is a freelance writer. Having resolved to live a single life, she moved into an old, dilapidated 50-year-old house she inherited. However, on the day she moved in, the house burnt to the ground.

Seeing Sae distraught, her neighbor, Katsuragi Sojiro, spoke to her and offered comfort.

With no romantic feelings between them, their lodger arrangement began.

While each concealing their own bitter pasts, they slowly begin to grow closer. Their relationship, which appeared smooth at first glance, is occasionally rocked by their respective pasts.
