A Japanese woman returns to her hometown in rural Shikoku, where she meets the ghost of her childhood friend.

Offering a caustic immersion into the lives of disaffected junior high students on the cusp of adulthood, the film takes place over the five-day period before, during, and after a ferocious, seemingly-liberating typhoon, which six of the students endure while marooned in their school.
