Andy Kessler didn't move to Japan to find himself. He moved to disappear - from a mother he couldn't save, an engagement he couldn't hold together, and a life back in Ohio that had stopped feeling like his the moment he stopped needing to worry about money. Two years and one pandemic later, he's an ESL teacher in a small town nobody back home could find on a map, isolated by choice, drifting through a relationship he no longer knows how to be inside of.
Then his student vanishes.
