Business Overview

Fictional Japan. The light of a small sign on the national road along the coast. The sign simply says "MOTEL" in capital letters. The owner, Kirino Kyoko, took over the place from her late husband, Kento, and lived modestly there. Kyoko has a son, Hikaru Kirino, whom she dotes on. Hikaru, a Self-Defense Force officer, was a pilot of Squadron 11. However, one day Hikaru goes missing during a flight. Three years later, in the port town where Kyoko lives, rumors begin to circulate about a "wish granting whale," a messenger of the gods. In an attempt to find the whale, Kyoko summons the three yakuza who took care of her before ...... "I want Hikaru to be returned to me." At the mercy of a divine miracle, before long Kyoko can no longer hide her sins.
