High schooler Chiyako has a special talent that sets her apart from other folks -- she can see people's red string of destiny! (i.e. there is a legend that holds we each have a red string on our pinky finger connecting us to our "fated" love). Unlike other goody two-shoes who would use this power for "good," Chiyako instead decides to market her talent in order to save up enough money to move out of her father's house and become a proper adult. Well, things go a little awry when she is targeted by a group of guys who can also see people's "fate strings" (strings for the physical body, for hatred, and various other aspects of the self). Chiyako, herself, is fated to wield the "White" string, which ties the soul to the body and is also fated, much to everyone's surprise, to join this shady group known as the Tyers.
