First, Toru Okada's cat went missing. Then a stranger tried to have phone sex with him. After that, his wife Kumiko disappeared. And all this under the mechanical cry of the Mechanical Bird. The search leads the hero to an old dried-up well. His intuition prompts Toru to descend to the very bottom. From the cool darkness, he enters another reality and then travels back to the distant past. If Toru can connect all the threads together, he will save Kumiko. However, her brother, the famous politician Noboru Wataya, will try to prevent this.

"A person cannot live without finding themselves. It's like the ground beneath their feet. Without it, nothing can be built."
