Kadono Mitsuru runs a handyman business in Yugawara, a hot spring resort town not far from Tokyo. He's a heavy smoker and has a secret: he can hear the inner voices of people only when he's smoking. Sometimes he helps tend to their overgrown gardens, other times he gives directions... Mitsuru lives alongside the people of the town, listening to the "inner voices" beyond the smoke.
