Towako dreams; Kiko does not. As girls they spent holidays in a seaside house on the hills at Hayama, and their friendship broke off one summer without warning. A quarter of a century on, the house is to come down and the two women meet once more. Their recollections fit and then diverge; memory tangles, times blend, waking and dreaming merge, until the borders fade and language itself loosens.
