When the medical ban in Beautiful Country had just been announced, on the other side of the ocean, Mande City was still in a state of peace and prosperity.
In a newly constructed film and television base in the suburbs of Mande City,
Kitagawa Ayaka, who had been 'invited' here by the Jieke Group, was shivering with fear.

A week ago, she had suddenly heard that a wealthy film crew was recruiting for a big-budget movie that required shooting overseas.
Struggling financially, she had not thought twice before signing up.
The selection process had gone smoothly, and she had even landed an important role as the leading lady, so excited that she could not sleep the entire night.
