Yuu Kamiya, a young model, is killed in a traffic accident. Her death is covered up by Shirayuki, an executive in the modeling business. In heaven, Yuu is given the chance to return to earth on the condition that she cannot come in contact with anyone who knows that she has died. She decides to start her life over from scratch, becoming romantically involved with her former manager Fumio Amemiya, but things go awry when Shirayuki announces her death and plans a memorial service for her.
