Shy girl joins nude theater troupe, discovers talent isn't the only thing getting exposed.
Ageha is a shy girl, longing for something new to awaken her creative side. After seeing a performance by an eclectic local theater troupe that performs partially nude, she is offered by the director to come and audition for the next show. The rest of the troupe is far from thrilled for the new addition, and Ageha must learn to perform her part well and fit in with her peers, even if that means sleeping with a couple of them. The director of the show, Ren, begins to develop feelings for Ageha, further complicating the situation. Ageha must decide if the sacrifice is worth the reward, and if the sex is good enough not to quit!
