It revolves around three main characters, Hinako, Fumiya, and Sayori. Sayori and her family perform various spiritual rites and Japanese style seances, and all Sayroi wants is to grow up and and leave the small village so she can live life to the fullest. Instead, she ends up dying while still in school. Fumiya is the boy that Sayori has a crush on; after her death he leaves the small village and works in Osaka for three years before returning home. Hinako, seen more as Sayori's sidekick that real friend, ends up moving away to Tokyo with her parents at a young age. But before she moved, she accidentally witnessed one of Sayori's rituals, and in the next scene she is seen almost drowning in the river but is "saved" by Sayori just in time.
Several years later Hinako returns to the village to handle some affairs concerning her family's old house. She meets up with her old playmate Fumiya and learns that Sayori had drowned in the same river that she almost died in. Hinako asks who is living in Sayori's old house after seeing someone in the window, but no one does. After seeing what could be a yurei (Japanese ghost), both Hinako and Fumiya begin looking into Sayori's family history and wondering why her mother is continuing to go on the "pilgrimage" to the 88 temples that surround the island. When they find out that Sayori's mother is visiting the temples in reverse order, they realize that she might be trying to open the divide that separate the world of the living from the world of the dead in hopes of bringing Sayori back to life.
