Kou has been taught never to owe anyone a favor. When Nino saves his life, the wealthy young man is ready to repay her with almost anything—until she asks for a relationship. Moving into her riverside community introduces him to eccentric neighbors and a way of living his carefully ordered upbringing never prepared him for. Kou's rigid accounting of debts has little use among people who live by their own rules. His attempts to understand Nino become an equally difficult effort to reconsider what he owes others—and himself.
