故事以东京都下北沢为舞台：主角里中ゆいか为了升读大学，从山梨县前来东京。在出席入学说明会期间，突然有一团人出其不意地冲上讲台，并展示其剧团“下北SUNDAYS”的网址进行宣传，打破了会场生硬的气氛。这令里中ゆいか想起在幼小时，由于双亲忙于旅馆的工作无暇照顾她，使她感到寂寞，并忘记了在人前展露笑容。这引起她去观看该剧团演出的兴趣，最后更立志加入该剧团。之后，里中ゆいか开始了她在下北沢的演艺生涯。

This drama portrays the nostalgia of "the good old days" and youthful hopes and dreams. Yuika Satonaka (Ueto) is a freshman in university who came to live in Tokyo to continue her studies. Although she had a brand new start before her eyes, she was somehow at a loss. Nothing seemed to interest her and her hopes and dreams were distant. One day at the school orientation, her eyes are glued to a sudden performance of a group of unsuccessful actors, "Shimokita Sundays". Their unique play made her laugh... something she had forgotten for a long time. Yuika takes a chance to visit Shimokita and goes to see their play only to find how unpopular and how very few audiences they had. But still, their performance touches Yuika’s soul... great enough to make her try out for their audition.
