When Jiro Manabe went to Turkey to find his family, he never thought that he'd wind up in the middle of somebody else's rebellion! Kasim and his crew of reluctant rebels have slammed through the Turkish army roadblock on the Bosporus Bridge, and Jiro wakes up in the back of the truck, in a poor village somewhere in the Turkish interior.
Lira, the motorcyclist who saved Jiro the night before, decides that it's a good chance to escape from these Kurdish guerillas. The mysterious Kasim, however, has different plans. But Jiro can't leave anyway -- the woman with Kasim may be his mother!

A young man has left Tokyo for Istanbul to meet his mother and find his long-lost father. But instead, he finds that he's fallen headlong into somebody else's rebellion! Jiro Manabe hasn't seen his parents since he was a child. He doesn't know what to expect, except that his mother is Turkish and his Japanese father mysteriously disappeared when he was almost too young to remember.
When a stranger appears who can take Jiro to his mother, the mysteries that Jiro has come to solve only grow deeper. Is a drug-addled belly dancer Jiro's mother? Why and where did Jiro's father go? And perhaps most importantly, why are army troops trying to gun them down?
