Mitch and Yonko havent spoken in a year. As children, they were inseparable, raised together in an orphanage outside Tokyobut ever since the sudden death of Mitchs brother, theyve been mourning in their private ways, worlds apart. In the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe, they choose to reunite, finding each other in a city undone by disaster.
