Synopsis
The story begins with Mai Shijo (Shaku) meeting three women. Mai is a temp who spends her days aimlessly while vaguely fretting that this is not what she should be doing. The three women are Mitsuko Uehara (Toyota); Kyoko Misaki (Takaoka); and Yukari Otsuka (Yokoyama). The women, at rock bottom in their lives, come up with a lunatic plan to recapture their optimism and strength. The plan is to trap Yusuke Kaido (Suzuki), the president of a major company against whom all three have grudges, marry him, and spend every last penny of his fortune. --TV Asahi
