Ayumi is a young man with special powers to bring back the dead to meet the living.
A gift passed down in his family, he is able to arrange meetings according to strict rules and always under a full moon. After years in this role, he begins to question its meaning, and how his powers affect his own desires in the real world. Meanwhile, he helps out five characters:

-A young film star finds resolution with the father who abandoned him, but not as he expected;
- An amateur historian is obsessed to meet a minor warlord of the sixteenth century;
-Ayumi anxiously juggles two meetings on the same evening, both have lost their daughters;
-A former cook, whose request to visit an upper-class young woman in the afterlife has been repeatedly rejected, is finally granted his wish.

Find out how Ayumi and his clients learn to lose their regrets, open up to the unexpected, and cherish what they already have in this profound and moving novel by Japan's leading storyteller.
