A skilled sushi chef, Taku, wants to make the best sushi in Japan and to feed it to his blind mother. But he is hit by a truck and loses his arms. The truck driver Akira then learns to be Taku's arms and to make sushi. They form an unlikely friend- and partnership, until Akira is then injured with third degree burns when saving a child from a fire. Akira dies in the hospital and tells his wife to give his arms to Taku.
