An extraordinary story that revolves around an ordinary man.

One day, at the bar Vincent frequents, he meets a beautiful woman and has an unexpected affair. While Vincent takes every precaution as not to let the fact that he cheated leak out, he also starts to receive the affection of Rin, a pianist who lost her memory.
In the meantime, strange rumors have begun circulating the city—“Cheating men will fall into a nightmare. If someone dies in their dreams, it will bring about death even in the real world.”
Will Vincent be able to escape his nightmare? And who will Vincent choose after repeatedly fighting through hell…!?

He will be confronted with a big choice at the end of his journey through love.

Despite having a girlfriend, Vincent unexpectedly has an affair. Of course, love difficulties await.

Vincent is worn out from nightmare after nightmare. Will the reason for his curse and the person behind it be revealed?

Men are weak to partners who embrace them when their heart is vulnerable.

When word gets out that Vincent cheated, the love problems begin.

Catherine (Voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro, Others)

“Marriage is just a tradition, right? Seriously, who wants to be tied down?”
A beautiful girl Vincent meets at a bar he frequents. In contrast with her innocent young girl-like face, her body possesses an unbalanced voluptuousness. She assertively pursues Vincent and spends the night with him. Her name is coincidentally the same name as Katherine, Vincent’s girlfriend.

A self-proclaimed “Cooking Expert.” She brings the homely appeal with her homemade cupcakes.

Vincent is at the mercy of Catherine’s daring actions.

A third “Catherine” who serves as a soothing presence for Vincent, who is stuck between Katherine and Catherine. Vincent saves her when she is being chased. Her circumstances seem to be somewhat complicated, and she has lost all memory other than her name.
