Numata, a restaurant manager whose only talent is nunchucks, a hobby he had since childhood, is invited to dance classes by a woman he met at a matchmaking party. He is then provoked by his instructor into entering a dance contest. Meanwhile, Numata is captivated by the soul dance performed at a live show by Soma, a man struggling to keep his band afloat, and asks Soma to take him on as an apprentice. The two form a duo and decide to compete in the dance contest.
