Koshiki Island, an isolated island in the ocean, is the island of hope that Kensuke Goto, a.k.a. Dr. Koto, loves so much. Compared to the state-of-the-art medical care he once received at a university hospital, Koto learns the harshness of remote island medicine, which is the opposite of the state-of-the-art medical care he once received. However, it is precisely because of this that Koto grew up on this island. Koto vows that he will not let anyone die unnecessarily. One day, he learns that Takehiro, a junior high school student and son of Hara, a fisherman on the island, has a heart condition. He decides that the facilities at the clinic are not up to the task, so he decides to perform the operation at the Tianjin University Hospital in Tokyo, where he used to be enrolled. He then takes on the challenge of performing a difficult operation for which there have been almost no successful cases! One day, Ayaka Hoshino's father, a nurse who has supported the island's medical care with Koto, returns to the island with terminal cancer. Koto, as expected, has nothing more to do but to wait for his last moments. However, a miracle is happening in secret! Koto's faith that no one will die is unshakable!
