A faded American movie star, facing a midlife crisis, travels to Tokyo to film a whisky commercial. Simultaneously, a young woman accompanies her celebrity photographer husband on a trip to the same city. While he is consumed with his work, she finds herself adrift in an alien culture, struggling to find purpose. Both outsiders in a place where language and customs elude them, the actor and the young woman cross paths in the luxury hotel where they are staying.

As sleepless nights mount due to jet lag and personal ennui, the two begin an unlikely friendship. They find solace in each other's company, exploring Tokyo's neon-lit landscape together. Through karaoke bars, pachinko parlors, and quiet conversations, they share their feelings of displacement and the complex realities of their respective lives. This connection, as unexpected as it is deep, helps them confront their existential questions, even as they know their time together is transient and their realities back home await them.
