Synopsis

Based on a non-fiction book by Nakamura Atsuhiko.

After her divorce, Kariya Mako returns to work as a contract editor for an economics magazine. There she is ordered to be in charge of a serialization based on the theme of women in poverty. She interviews people living in various difficult situations, and it gradually makes her realise that this is a widespread problem that she herself is not entirely impervious to, as she is also someone dealing with employment instability while struggling to raise her children.
