Gigi, an art historian, wants to regain control over her life after her stroke. She leaves her husband and sons in the United States to teach art history for the summer at a university in Tokyo, where she once fell in love. As Gigi explores the unfamiliar landscape in Japan - shimmering temple gardens, a monkey preserve, and a Super Mario go-cart tour - she feels renewed. But when her friendship with Richard, a colleague who abandoned his family years before to teach dance in Japan, becomes an obsession with seeing wild boars in the exclusion zone of the Fukushima Disaster, she discovers her recovery is part of the fabric of loss and rebirth.
