Where the waves rolling in from the Pacific crash on the East Asian shores, an old widowed Japanese fisherman lives alone in a small boathouse tucked at the foot of a looming sand dune.

One cloudy, rainy evening, he receives a peculiar visitor with an even more peculiar request. What, you ask, is it? Turn the pages and read a story that we promise will haunt you.
