Koi Pierce dreams of other people. All her life she has avoided other people. Any skin-to-skin contact—a sister's hug, a barista's palm—transmits flashes of a person's most vivid dreams. This can make anyone alone. But Koi doesn’t give up. This time she is going to finish her studies at college and live for real. Of course, this is not so easy to obtain. Her father's illness, a dream fragment about a dead girl after coming into contact with the palm of a creepy college professor, and a mysterious stranger who speaks the same rare Japanese dialect as Koya's father will force her to learn to trust the help of others, and also force her to accept the truth about herself.
