Randal Laurence is a Canadian teacher with a partying life that is spinning out of control. When Randal meets Amekawa-san, an A-bomb survivor who comes every morning to Motoyasu Bridge, Ground Zero, to look for his long lost love Sayuri-chan, Randal realizes his sordid life in Japan must end. While on vacation he meets an old lady in kimono who offers him her dead husband’s hospital to start an English school ‘of his very own.’ But it’s a trap and the worst kind.
