In 1975, the punk band Gekirin, led by Shigeki , gear up to record their last song, 'Fish Story.' In 1982, university student Masashi , driving home from a disastrous dating party, listens to 'Fish Story' on the radio and hears the scream of a woman during an interlude in the song. In 2009, high-school girl Asami is on a ferry when it is seajacked. And in 2012, only five hours remain before the Earth will be destroyed. In a rundown record shop, the owner puts 'Fish Story' on the turntable, muttering “The righteous apostle will save the world.” Are all of these events connected?
