Ayamecho Complex, a public housing development established in the outskirts of Tokyo during the 1970s, was once a vibrant community highly sought after by residents. Over the years, the population has dwindled, and both the residents and the buildings have aged. One day, Terauchi Seiji, a 62-year-old man, moves into Ayamecho Complex with his 6-year-old granddaughter, Honoka. Terauchi explains to curious neighbors that he adopted Honoka after his son and daughter-in-law tragically perished in a fire a year ago. He believes that raising Honoka in the place where he had a happy childhood will be beneficial for her. Terauchi's elderly father, Hitoshi, also resides with them. The arrival of this family of three brings a new energy to the quiet complex. Terauchi wastes no time in introducing himself to his neighbors, including Sakurai Eriko and her husband Takashi, expressing his excitement for their fresh start in this "dream new town." Despite his efforts to engage with the residents and breathe life back into the community, he faces challenges from an unenthusiastic chairman, Kaneda Teppei, and residents who disregard the rules and social niceties.
