In this small, isolated building, the pulses of people who are still alive or have already passed away continue to echo. Several miles away, in the ancient city of Kamakura,two lonely souls meet : Shūichi, a forty-year old illustrator, who returns to his hometown to fix up the house of his recently deceased mother, and eight-year old Kenta, a child he finds wandering like a shadow around it. Day by day, the trust between Shūichi and Kenta grows until they discover they share a bond that will tie them for life. Their journey will lead to them to Teshima and to the library of heartbeats...
