Following a devastating war and tsunami, a mysterious man is discovered on the shores of a ruined Indonesian town. Atsuko and her son Takashi, involved in disaster recovery efforts, find him and, due to his limited ability to speak Japanese or Indonesian, name him Laut, meaning "sea" in Indonesian. They take him in and offer him protection, hoping to uncover the secrets of his past and his connection to the sea.
