Synopsis
"Sky Cleaners," the women's volleyball team of Ozora Electronics Okihama Plant, is the worst team in the local league. Team captain Michiko lives for volleyball. Divorced from the team's ex-coach, Susumu, who also works for Ozora Electronics, she knows in her heart she still loves her ex-husband. However, Susumu's new task is the restructuring of the plant, and he announces that the "Sky Cleaners" are to be scrapped. To make matters worse, Susumu has become engaged to his assistant, Saeko, the ace attacker of a rival team who would do anything to finish off Michiko and the "Sky Cleaners." Backed by Michiko's optimism and Susumu's promise to restore the company team if they capture the league championship, the "Sky Cleaners" are determined to fight back. Could miracles happen? Will Michiko lose Susumu to Saeko?
