10 years has passed since the disappearance of Flight 402. Yasuko, a 38 year old employee at the airline, currently stays with her only brother. She has lost her lover and best friend in the incident. Today is the day where a physics professor believed that Flight 402 will reappeared. According to his theory, the plane was accidentally sucked into a "black hole" 10 years ago, and thus, it traveled through time and will arrive at Nagasaki airport 10 years later.
