A mysterious midsummer tale of youths in a rural seaside town.
Betrayed by his girlfriend, high school sophomore Akira Setouchi starts to find his relationships at school suffocating.
To sort out his thoughts, he returns to his peaceful seaside hometown for summer vacation.
Now back home, Akira is reunited with his childhood friend, Madoka Hasumi, his stepsister, Hikaru Setouchi, and the friends he once left behind.
But Akira keeps them at a distance, haunted by the fear of being betrayed again.

There, he encounters a little girl with a strange request:
"I want you to grant a certain girl's wish."
As he deals with his inner conflict, grief, and heartache alongside his childhood friends, he eventually finds himself swept into a time loop.
When he wakes up, the day has repeated, and a cryptic mission arrives from the MAZE app:
"AVOID THE CONFESSION"
Trapped in a recurring day, Akira must now search for the "exit key," relying on his memory and emotions to open the path forward.

Who was that girl she spoke of?
Why does the day keep repeating?
Akira and Madoka chase the mysteries of this endless midsummer, and the answers to their fate.
