Tamasuke is an inventor in the field of biology. Shortly after the earthquake on Tako Island, he visits his ex-wife Shinako, who is from there. She tells him that her current husband travelled abroad as a merchant with mysterious import-export business, but Tamasuke cannot believe it. Tamasuke is interested in him because he is looking for import possibilities for his discovery: "Nomikui-Mushi" - insects that can be used to fight an epidemic of dangerous fleas. But there is also a group of interested people behind this invention.
