Azusa is an elementary school teacher in Tokyo. She grew up with a family myth about a Dog Bridegroom that'd been told over generations. It's about a dog that married a princess after helping his master win a war.
Azusa gets herself into trouble at work on a particularly unlucky day. Her longtime boyfriend also leaves her which leads to a fight. On her way back from the police station, the depressed Azusa hears a voice from heaven;
"Go to Imorei Island and find your treasure."
Azusa packs and leaves, leaving everything behind. Her search for the treasure is hampered by problems. Little by little she realizes that the family myth plays an important role in her quest.

Azusa meets a motley bunch of misfits and crazy outsiders; an offbeat conman, a thuggish revolutionary, a reclusive ex-guitarist, and an exiled prince who shapeshifts into a dog. When Azusa encounters and separates from these individuals it rouses her passion and empathy. She also sees patterns of oppression and despair.
In her quest Azusa must find the answers to these questions; What is Imorei Island's secret? Why did God call her? Why was she chosen and what is her treasure?
God's calling leads Azusa from Tokyo to Okino Oshima Island, to a desert island and eventually to Imorei Island. With each event, she feels defeated and is forced to question her own values. She closes in on the mystery treasure that always stays out of her reach. Will she find the love and hope she's owed at the end of the journey?
