One day, a misogynistic, middle-aged photographer and retouch artist Kai meets Kyoko, a beautiful model with a huge, horrible scar on her body. Taking advantage of the photographer's manipulation skills, Kyoko would like to erase the scar in photographs of herself and create a perfect and flawless body. Dazzled by her new look, she nevertheless hesitate in showing the world and her fans the photographs, different from her real self, without scars and all. Torn between the two selves, she falls into the most desperate confusion. Kai, implicitly guilty, knows he is the only one able to save Kyoko from her anguish, and is determined to love her at all costs
