Minakata Jin is a neurosurgeon in modern Tokyo. One night, while treating an assault victim, he discovers a strange tumor in the victim's head--one in the exact shape of a fetus. He removes the tumor, and then things get weird. He's catapulted back in time to 1862, where he has to decide whether sharing his medical knowledge is worth the risk of changing the future.
