The drama is a suspenseful tale of love between a mother and her child, who is filled with grief and hatred after losing her child in a food accident. Kitagawa plays Nakagoshi Hiromi, who loses her young daughter and decides to seek revenge.
Hiromi, who lost his child in a food accident 10 years ago and holds a grudge against Yuki Asahi, the president of the delicatessen store responsible for the accident, accidentally kidnaps Asahi's child. Hiromi seeks revenge, but there is a big miscalculation in the kidnapping... This is the story. Nao Omori plays Asahi, the president of the delicatessen store responsible for the accident and the person Hiromi seeks revenge on. The script is written by Ikeda Natsuko, who has worked on "The Day the World Ends with You," and the film is directed by Matsuki Hajime, who has worked on the "Rika" series.
Nimura Sawa will play Higashi Sawa, a weekly magazine reporter who snoops around Asahi trying to find out the truth behind the accident, Taira Yuna will play Asahi's eldest daughter Yuki Ririko, and Abe Ryohei of Snow Man will play Kumura Tsuyoshi, Ririko's tutor.
In the first episode, Hiromi Minagawa, who works as a cook at a nursery school and lives happily with her husband Keigo (Mitsuomi Takahashi) and daughter Akari (Shuma Ishihara), buys pizza at the delicatessen "YUKI Deli" at Akari's request on her third birthday. However, that night, after taking a bite of the pizza, Akari suddenly begins to suffer, and although she is rushed to the hospital, she dies.
Akari's cause of death was anaphylactic shock due to shrimp. Hiromi was extra careful about her daughter's allergies and had made sure the pizza did not contain shrimp before purchasing it, but the police investigation revealed that it was unclear how the allergenic ingredient ended up in the pizza.
Then, at a press conference for "YUKI Deli," the president, Asahi, makes a statement that upsets the family. Facing public backlash, "YUKI Deli" is forced into bankruptcy, and Asahi and Mochizuki Kosuke (Tsutsui Michitaka), who set up the store with her, are forced to change jobs. Unable to bear the guilt and grief of losing her beloved daughter, Hiromi divorces Keigo and chooses to live alone.
One year later, Hiromi was attending a certain cooking class. There, he met Asahi, the former president of "YUKI Deli," who was raising his eldest daughter, Ririko, a high school freshman, and his second daughter, Moeko (Eima Kurata), on his own. His grief over losing his daughter transformed into a desire for revenge, and Hiromi was waiting for an opportunity to make Asahi suffer the same pain...
