Based on the life of a pioneer researcher of PTSD in Japan, the series depicts his mission to stand by those deeply hurt by tragedy.
An Kazutaka, an avid reader who loves to play jazz piano, grapples with his identity after learning that his parents were born in Korea. Entering medical school with his close friend Yuasa, he blossoms into a fine young man and meets Shuko, the love of his life. Guided by his teacher Professor Nagano, he decides to specialize in psychiatry despite the vehement opposition of his father, Tekkei. In January 1995, his world is shattered when the Great Hanshin Earthquake strikes Kobe.
Immediately after the earthquake, Kazutaka begins working in a clinic that looks like a field hospital. With a keen sense of inadequacy, he visits evacuation shelters and struggles to do what he can as a psychiatrist. He's asked by an old acquaintance who works as a newspaper reporter to write a serial column on what the aftermath of the disaster looks like from the inside. While Kazutaka grows closer to his suffering patients, his father Tekkei's business begins to falter.
