A dramatic tale of golf and humans, set on the beautiful Tokara Islands. Igarashi has thrown away his past and fled society, relocating to Hinoshima Island. Here, on "Japan's last hidden paradise," he meets Tonbo, the island’s only middle schooler. To his surprise, this girl harbors an extraordinary talent for golf!? This encounter marks the beginning of a significant change in their destinies.
Igarashi's unease with Tonbo's golf stems from the fact that she doesn’t feel the pressure that comes with a competition. On the island's cliff-top course, he sees his past failures with his son in her. Yet, Tonbo's actions make him reconsider, accepting her as she is. Learning from Yoko that Tonbo hates the idea of leaving, Igarashi realizes that a change in perspective, not location, is needed.

Tonbo impresses seasoned golfer Igarashi with her unique style, playing solely with a 3-iron. Intrigued, Igarashi adapts his wedge with her 3-iron's grip and coaches her on its use. Teaching Tonbo reminds him of instructing his son, Rintaro, evoking regrets about robbing Rintaro of golf's joy.

Igarashi hits rock bottom as he loses his family and his job. He flees society on a ferry to Hinoshima - “Japan’s last hidden paradise.” There, he meets Tonbo, the island's only middleschooler. As Igarashi explores the remote island, he senses something odd—a pervasive golf theme, despite no golf course or known golfers on the island.
