Yuichirou Hyakuya's life has been upturned more times than he can count. Removed from his parents' custody at eight years old, he was bounced back and forth between multiple foster homes until eventually being taken in by single-parent Guren Ichinose. After a painstaking four years of teenage angst and rebellion, the man finally earns Yuu's trust.

However, on a hot summer day in a new neighborhood, it seems that even Guren has forsaken him.

That's when he meets Mika, a boy his age on the swim team. He rescues Yuu from Guren's alleged abandonment, shirtless all the while. This, paired with his connection to the white-haired Ferrari driver Guren won't talk about, prompts Yuu to befriend him.

But as they spend that fateful summer together, Yuu finds himself wondering if being friends is truly all he wants.
