Aki, who works part-time at a bar, Ryo, a recent graduate at a real estate company, and Yuta, a vocational school student aspiring to become a fashion designer, all lead different lives, but their hearts are always connected by the special power of "touch," and their words flow into each other's heads without them having to speak. The friendship between the three men, bound together by "touch," changes due to a hidden "another power." Nagase Ren, Bando Ryuta, and Maeda Kentaro play the main characters Aki, Ryo, and Yuta, respectively.
