Just before their honeymoon, Sugamoto and Aoki break up. Sugamoto decides to bury her lost emotion by going on the determined honeymoon trip alone. The journey's end is a remote town famous for being a suicide hotspot, a place where the spirits of those who took their own lives roam around without finding a way to the afterlife. In this chaotic space where humans and ghosts meet, traces of the past abound, but maybe all these give them the strength to start a new chapter in life.
