Aoi marries a man she met through work and moves to the countryside. Her vicious mother-in-law Saki nearly breaks her with constant abuse, but Aoi finds comfort in the encouragement of her adult stepson Hanzo. Convinced that Aoi is only manipulating the family to secure her place, Saki decides to drive her out. She summons several men through an acquaintance and orders them to rape Aoi. After the assault, Saki continues berating the exhausted woman, while Hanzo accidentally witnesses the scene and is overwhelmed by emotions he cannot describe.
