The City of Light is a town above a hill, so-called because it's surrounded by the sun...but it hides an obscure side. Within lives Tasuku, a young kid who works as a 'messenger' for a mysterious group who organizes suicides on the phone. At the same time, other youngsters like him are trying to survive everyday life: Satoshi changes one occasional job after another, and Momoko is the daughter of a prostitute who abandoned her. Finally there's Hoichi who is always involved in dirty business, among which is the suicidal group, but at least he has a dream: earn enough money to buy the whole place and turn it back into the country village he was born in.
