Kimihiko Kimizuka has an uncanny knack for ending up in the middle of trouble, whether by chance or bad luck. He regularly finds himself at crime scenes or accidentally entangled in illegal activities. So it comes as no surprise when his routine flight declares an emergency and calls for a detective onboard. Despite his attempts to steer clear of involvement, his efforts are foiled when a mysterious silver-haired woman named Siesta forces him to help her. Their partnership ignites a whirlwind of global adventures, where they face dangerous criminals, prevent disasters, and save countless lives. However, after three years, their extraordinary journey ends tragically with Siesta’s death. Kimizuka then spends a year living quietly and maintaining a normal high school life. Yet, fate intervenes once more when a girl who looks strikingly like Siesta enters his world, threatening to disturb his newly found peace.
