Natsuko Hirashima is a beautiful doctor at a hospital where her husband, Goro, is the chairman. She also had a good reputation among patients.

However, the doctors and nurses were not aware that the surveillance cameras were installed there, claiming that she was there to monitor hospitalized patients 24 hours a day.
