As punishment, Shogo is cursed by the gods to continually reincarnate and fall in love with Hiromi, but one or both of them will die before their love can be fully realized. Shogo is now forced to confront his greatest fear over and over again in the hopes that he might find a way to break free of the cycle and learn how to truly accept love into his life.
