Overview
At La Jolla High, Wyatt Roth is the shy geek with a missing sister and a mother lost to suicide. His agoraphobic father, Stewart, spends his days scouring the internet for any trace of his daughter. When Wyatt learns that his sister is modeling in Tokyo, the pair fly to Japan— but Stewart suffers a crippling panic attack in Shinjuku Station, leaving Wyatt to navigate the city alone.
In the neon-lit streets, Wyatt befriends Yoshimi Watanabe, a fiercely defiant Fukushima refugee whose nightly graffiti protests the evacuation of her home. Together, they venture into the abandoned towns and haunting landscapes of the Fukushima exclusion zone, confronting grief, injustice, and the fragile possibility of hope.
