An impossible lover affair between two teenagers.
A father in trouble with the Yakusas.
A man accused of stealing money, running from Japan.
A woman afraid of time passing by.
Two countries, two cultures, Japan and Canada
Revenge, wandering, a different notion of courage, of solitude…
A thriller hiding in between the lines, the complexity of beings going about their lives as they can.
For what they want - and what they get - are two very different things…
