Tasked with locating this mysterious figure from his mother's past-and with the urging of his agent, keen for him to return to work-Rob travels to Japan. There, with the help of a love hotel receptionist, he follows Mr. Satoshi's trail from the bright lights of Tokyo to the northern city of Sapporo, where he must come to terms with his family's ghosts-and his own.
