Mourning her lost lover, a woman finds herself sleepwalking at night.
Another woman, in the midst of an affair with a man whose wife is in a coma, finds herself suddenly unable to stay awake.
And a third woman finds her dreams haunted by an old rival in love.
Across the nocturnal lives of these three women, Banana Yoshimoto weaves an enchanting ghost story, with a touch of Kafkaesque surrealism.
