Synopsis

Kaoru Takeuchi (Yuto Nakajima) is a young man with a special ability. He can experience the thoughts of others, just by copying their writings. Kaoru Takeuchi lives with his mother with Alzheimer’s disease. He wants to become a writer, but, due to his special ability, he has a hard time writing his own work. Taking care of his sick mother also doesn’t help his writing. One day, his mother gets into an accident.

Tomomi Fujiwara (Shotaro Mamiya), who went to same school as Kaoru Takeuchi, appears in front of Kaoru. Tomomi Fujiwara is a young yakuza and he makes an offer to Kaoru Takeuchi. The deal is if Kaoru Takeuchi takes a university entrance exam for someone and that guy gets into a top university, then he will make a lot of money. But, Kaoru Takeuchi gets involved in something unexpected.
