Synopsis
Jimmy, an introspective and world-traveled social studies teacher, lives a quiet life working in a Minnesota high school. Having lived in Japan for several decades-a country that he considers his second home-he is caught off-guard by the ancient and unfinished legacy that has followed him back across the Pacific. As the sun sets, Jimmy begins to see strange events in his home: a disembodied hand in the moonlight, then the full apparition of a Japanese woman in traditional kimono. Despite being separated by the boundaries of time and space, life and death, Jimmy and the mysterious woman develop a karmic connection. Together, they search for the root of her eternal restlessness in the hopes of attaining her kaiho (freedom). Jimmy must unravel her past to discover how their destinies are intertwined, and how they might heal one another....
