35-year-old Morita Haruki is a surgeon who only thinks about saving patients 24 hours a day, every day. A compassionate man with a strong sense of justice, he pushes back against the university hospital system which prioritises profit and power. However, he has forgotten how to love because he has put work before romance and his hectic job. In order to hone his skills as a surgeon, Haruki gets a position at Koyo Medical University Hospital through his senior, Nishi Yusuke, an associate professor at the department of surgery. After parting ways with Nishi at a hotel, Haruki learns that a guest had thrown up blood and collapsed at the reception hall, and he rushes over to the scene. Kondo Chizuru, a surgeon from Koyo Medical University Hospital who had been attending the reception, is already treating the guest. However, word comes that the condition of her patient suddenly deteriorated. Haruki makes an offer to take over and urges her to go back to the hospital.
