After being belittled by a famous composer, Gen Mikami, Tendou Kawahara, a budding composer, travels to the secluded Mongolian town of Cojr in search of inspiration. There, he encounters Kanon, a free-spirited Japanese girl with exceptional violin talent. When circumstances lead Kanon to leave Mongolia, she accompanies Tendou to Japan, where he takes her under his wing to nurture her musical gifts. As Kanon begins her journey into the world of professional music, her raw talent catches the attention of the very composer who once dismissed Tendou. This sets in motion a complex dynamic between mentor and student, as both Tendou and Mikami vie to shape Kanon's future as a musician.
