In a quiet small town bathed in the sticky midsummer rain, nineteen-year-old Nene opens a charming seasonal drink stand to offer refreshing relief to the locals. Built with her savings and help from family and friends, the colorful little stall with its canopy and bright menu becomes a welcoming spot on the glistening streets.

On her sixth shift, as she greets another group of customers escaping the drizzle, Nene maintains her polite smile and careful service — unaware that among the usual townsfolk, something strange is about to unfold. Because in this town, some people are unpredictable... and not everyone who approaches her stand has ordinary intentions.
