Konno, seconded by his pharmaceutical firm to a subsidiary in Iwate, has one friend there: Hiasa, his fishing and drinking companion, who once worked in the same company's logistics section and has moved on to selling memberships in a wedding and funeral cooperative. Konno left a lover, Kazuya Soejima, behind when he moved. Amid the hues of woods and river, past and present intertwine under omens of some great collapse to come.
