A stray cat washes up in a city in the east, and there it meets Hina, who came into the world the year the 2011 disaster struck. The cat sees radiation as a kind of light, and the women in Hina's family can hear it. Radium, people say, transformed the world, and the two set off across times and places, meeting Marie Curie and Edison on the way, to learn how, and to ask why it is so hard to care for what cannot be seen.
