Reiko Kujirai (Riho Yoshioka), who works at a real estate agency in the nostalgic city of Kowloon Fortress, is in love with her senior employee Hajime Kudo (Koshi Mizukami). Kudou knows the city of Kowloon well and takes Reiko out to his favorite places, but their distance remains unbridgeable. Even so, Reiko has made important friends such as Yaomay (Minami Umezawa), who runs a shoe shop in Kowloon, and Xiaohei (Kotone Hanase), who works part-time at a variety of stores, and she is content with her daily life in Kowloon. One day, however, Tao Gwen (Shuntaro Yanagi), a clerk at the Goldfish Tea House where she and Kudou stop by, mistakes her for Kudou's girlfriend. Additionally, Reiko happened to find a photo of Kudou, who was together with his girlfriend who looked just like her. A past memory she cannot recall, the identity of her other self, and a huge mystery hidden in the city of Kowloon. As the past and present intersect, love reveals the secrets—.
