Synopsis

Kan Iga (Sota Fukushi) works at a family restaurant. He is sincere, but rigid in his ways. He can’t even fake smiles for his customers. Kan Iga doesn’t have a good reputation with his co-workers or customers, but Kanako Kurosu (Satomi Ishihara) recognizes something in him. Kanako Kurosu is a mysterious woman. She tells Kan Iga that she is going to open a French restaurant soon and that “The staff needs originality. You will be a good service man.”

The French restaurant is located in a cemetery, which is itself away from the busy streets and residential areas. The staff at the French restaurant do not appear suited for such a restaurant. Taichi Kawai (Jun Shison) was once an apprentice to become a hairdresser. Keitaro Tsutsumi (Masanobu Katsumura) worked as the manager of a rice & beef bowl restaurant for 5 years. Yukio Ozawa (Yasunori Danta) worked as a chef, but all of the restaurants where he worked went out of business. Lastly, Shigeomi Yamagata (Ittoku Kishibe) worked as a sommelier after he retired as a bank executive. Why does Kanako Kurosu gather these people? Will the French restaurant open?
