Kanako Miyamae seeks affection at the all-girls Ame no Kisaki Catholic School, drawn by the place where her parents shared their first romance.

He demands secrecy in exchange for their relationship, while further complicating matters by becoming her new roommate, ensuring constant surveillance. The series explores themes of identity, desire, and the complexities of finding genuine connection amidst deception and hidden truths within the confines of an exclusive school environment.
