Since then, Daniel has been the target of bullying, and before he knows it, the only people around him are his girlfriend and his apartment manager, Miyagi. One night at a party, Daniel tries to get revenge on the bully, but ends up getting back at him. Daniel is in a desperate situation, but Miyagi appears and quickly takes control of the situation.
