Ginko travels to an island to investigate the legend of the uminaoshi, people who have died and been reborn. The remote island is one of idyllic beauty, deep family bonds and great happiness… A paradise whose inhabitants truly grasp the joy of all that is life. Upon further inspection of their “miracle,” Ginko finds a mushi at the mystery’s core, one that feeds on time but regurgitates life. Caught deep within the sea's grasp, even the master will question whether he can truly leave this life behind.
