In the summer of 1966, Kaoru Nishimi moves to his uncle's home in Sasebo, Nagasaki. While attending the local high school he meets class representative Ritsuko Mukae and Sentarō Kawabuchi, a gruff delinquent. After asking Ritsuko where he can purchase records, Ritsuko invites him to her family's record store. In the store's rehearsal space he encounters Sentarō, who demonstrates intense jazz drumming.
