When Yuki Kawabata decides that his depression has inflicted enough damage, he takes matters into his own hands and joins an online suicide group. Rather than provide support, the website The Suicide Circle is a public forum for those seeking a partner to assist in his or her suicide. In this chat room Yuki discovers Satako, a witty young woman. Ironically, their conversations become the source of light in his otherwise dark world. Having settled on a date, they decide to live their dream last day. Through explorations of Japan, Yuki begins to reevaluate his view on life, questioning if there may actually be more than he had until then limited it to. Through his conquest for death Yuki discovers a zest for life.
