A fugitive, scarred by past traumas, finds refuge and redemption among a band of fierce and independent women who run a brothel, discovering a newfound sense of belonging and empowerment through their community.

In a post-war Tokyo, a group of prostitutes form a tight-knit community, bound by a strict code of conduct. When a young woman named Maya joins the group, she finds solace among the women and begins to heal from her own tragic past. However, her growing feelings for a wounded thief named Shin threaten to disrupt her newfound sense of belonging and put her livelihood at risk. As Maya and Shin navigate their forbidden love, they must decide whether to risk everything to start a new life together or to conform to the group's rules and abandon their desire for each other.
