Two years ago, Niko left his hometown behind, diploma in hand, and boarded a train to Tokyo alone.
Now, his closest friends have come to find him - bringing a whole loud, warm, unannounced summer with them.
Between endless jokes, unplanned adventures, and faces he never thought he'd see again, Niko slowly realizes that what he thought he'd left behind never really went away.
Not every story needs a beginning, middle, or end. This one unfolds in quiet, everyday moments - fragments of life that are sometimes lighthearted, sometimes quietly thoughtful.
