Kei Miyama is a seventeen-year-old freelance detective living in Iceland, and he has an unusual gift: he can talk to cars. He finds their company easier than that of people, especially women. His family is known for strange abilities, and birds gather around his grandfather as if he were the wind itself. His cases range from the mundane to the personal. One moment he is tracking down a missing dog, the next he is trying to reunite a woman with a man she fell for at first sight. The work keeps him driving alone across Iceland's rugged, empty roads. Then a case comes along that hits close to home: the search for his own younger brother. Meanwhile, a meeting with a distant Icelandic beauty brings to mind local superstitions about ghosts that wander the wilds at night.
