Junko Miyashita plays a mysterious hitchhiker picked up by a brute of a construction worker named Kenzo who takes her back to his run-down and cramped apartment in a not so good part of town.

In a futile attempt to escape the bleak working class surroundings, the pair engage in an obsessive erotic relationship.
