Nanako works in an advertising agency but only takes home about ¥160,000 a month, which is not enough to pay her bills. Eventually, her electricity and gas are cut off due to non-payment, so she decides to moonlight as a cabaret club hostess because she hears the pay is good.

She’s hired to work three hours every weeknight, but her first shift overwhelms her. Nanako has a low-key personality, but her colleagues, including her supervisor, Mr. Oda, are all high-powered hustlers. She also finds it difficult to develop any kind of relationship with the customers.
