A single, career-minded thirty something woman living in the city has dreams of doing more with her life. Sounds familiar?

For Saki Ogiwara (Miho Kanno), who works as an efficient paralegal and barely gets by on her meager hourly wage, her aspiration is to pass the bar exam, which she's already failed nine times. Her boss tells her to give up her dream of becoming a full-fledged lawyer. Her friend tells her to forget her career and marry her young lawyer boyfriend Masato (Takashi Tsukamoto). After all, she's "already 32" as people constantly remind her. But Saki just can't deter from her goal. She's chosen her path and doesn't want to let anything interfere.

Is it miserable for me to stay single for the rest of my life? Do I need to force myself to be friends with people whose company I don't enjoy? Will life become easier if I'm more flexible and "go with the flow?" Plagued by these questions and more, Saki places priority on studying over dating and strives to stay true to herself no matter what anyone says.

Balancing ideals for marriage, work, friendship and money, any woman will be able to relate to these common problems.
