Okuda, a 42-year-old man who goes by the working name "Dandy," is a popular male prostitute working for "Middle Mustang," a unique escort service where older men fulfill their clients' ideal fantasies. Confident that taking on whatever role a client desires is his true calling, Dandy's life takes an unexpected turn when he arrives at a room for a new booking—only to find Ibe, a younger journalist who used to be his junior colleague in his past life.
