The bastard child of Haruki Murakami’s 1Q84 and Stephen
King’s CARRIE, KAI explores how one innocent girl becomes
the target of enormous rage living inside another girl-
who is seemingly from another world. Satsuki Takamoto is an invisible otaku teenager in
Hiroshima. The only thing she has going for her is the
upcoming birth of her sister. No longer will she be
alone. But when her mother has a gory miscarriage right
in front of her, Satsuki loses her one chance at
happiness. She spirals into a deep depression, shutting
out everyone and everything by locking herself inside her
bedroom-for good. Her sadness, however, pales in
comparison to her uncontrollable anger. It spreads like a
nuclear fire, ambivalent to what or who it destroys, and
won’t stop until Satsuki accepts her sister’s death. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world in Evanston,
Illinois, Seul Bi Rissiello can’t sleep because every
time she closes her eyes, she relives her adoptive
parents’ gruesome deaths. Why is she thinking so much
about them now, ten years afterward? As she struggles
with working at a clinic for the mentally disturbed, Seul
Bi starts to unravel under the weight of living a lonely
life and being twice an orphan. Her life devolves into a
series of ominous and dangerous hallucinations that
threaten not only her sanity, but her very existence as
well. As both girls struggle to understand what is happening to
them, their enigmatic connection comes into focus,
raising the question: What if all the suffering in your
life was carefully choreographed by somebody you’ve never
met?
