SYNOPSIS
Keitaro has spent six years alone inside an abandoned fireworks factory, crafting explosions of color in the silence. He's chasing a ghost: the memory of his father, who vanished years ago. Tomorrow, the government comes to shut it down for good. When two others find their way into his world, everything shifts. A trio forms in the shadow of confiscation, bound by circumstance and something deeper. Outside, the weather turns hostile. Natural disasters pile on. The world seems determined to crush whatever they're building, whatever they're becoming. What unfolds is their struggle against forces they can't control: the sky, the earth, the system closing in. But it's also about three people learning who they actually are beneath the weight of loss and survival. Fireworks only burn so bright and so briefly. In their final days together, they'll discover what it means to create something that matters, even when everything's designed to take it away.
