"Tanpopo Farm," a facility overlooking the ocean, offers rehabilitation for troubled youth—those from reform schools, bullied individuals, and those dealing with addictions. Kitayama Shuji, who runs the farm, faces rejection from the town and even his daughter but remains committed to helping these young people heal. The story unfolds as Sakuragi Tsubasa arrives at Tanpopo Farm and meets Sawaguchi Haruka, a popular high school basketball player. Despite her bright exterior, Haruka faces betrayal from her mother, opposition from her father (a City Council member against the farm), and bullying at school. Through their bond, Tsubasa and Haruka find solace and begin to develop deeper feelings for each other.
