In a quiet hamlet once lively with hikers and lined with shops and inns, we meet Ihika (12) who is born into a family that has run an inn for generations. Saki, Ihika's mother who married into this family, has been managing the inn with Shige, her father-in-law. One day, Shige disappears. As the inn's survival is threatened, a time of change is coming for Ihika's family.
