Kurihara Ichito is a physician at Honjo Hospital, a 24-hour hospital in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture that is open all year round. There is a constant shortage of doctors at this hospital. As it is commonplace for Ichito to provide consultation in areas that are not his specialty, there are times when he goes without sleep for three days. However, he has somehow managed to get through each day with the support of his wife Haru. Then Ichito gets an invitation from his alma mater’s medical department. If he goes back to the university, he will be able to get more rest and also spend more time with Haru. While Ichito is interested in learning about the most advanced medical treatment, he feels troubled. Is it right to be a doctor at a university hospital trying his best for patients that the hospital has given up on for being beyond help?
