The highly skilled lawyer, Kiriko Suzuoka, receives a request to defend Saki Arakawa, a woman arrested on suspicion of murdering her lover.

The prosecutor is Kizaki, Kiriko's former lover. Mamiya, Kiriko's assistant who is infatuated with her, urges her to break up with Kizaki, but Kiriko insists she's not in love with a man.
