At its center are two sisters?Eri, a fashion model slumbering her way
into oblivion, and Mari, a young student soon led from solitary reading
at an anonymous Denny?s toward people whose lives are radically alien
to her own: a jazz trombonist who claims they?ve met before, a burly
female ?love hotel? manager and her maid staff, and a Chinese
prostitute savagely brutalized by a businessman. These ?night people?
are haunted by secrets and needs that draw them together more
powerfully than the differing circumstances that might keep them apart,
and it soon becomes clear that Eri?s slumber?mysteriously tied to the
businessman plagued by the mark of his crime?will either restore or
annihilate her. |
