One day, Takako is invited to the wedding of her ex-colleague Shiraishi Risako and meets three other housewives i.e. Kawai Hitomi, 32, whose husband works in the Finance Ministry and has 2 young children, Samejima Mayuko, 25, who is a typical rich man's wife as her husband is the owner of a plastic surgery clinic and Shindo Tamaki, 52, a career woman who has a lawyer-husband 8 years her junior.

That night, Risako proposes a game where the women have to pick up men on the streets and bring them to a pub. The last one to reach the pub will have to pick up the tab for that evening's celebration. Despite Takako's objections, the women go ahead with this game which marks the start of a scandal for Takako...
