Only three days before their high school festival, guitarist Kei (Yu Kashii), drummer Kyoko (Aki Maeda of Battle Royale), and bassist Nozomi (Shiori Sekine) are forced to recruit a new lead singer for their band. They choose Korean exchange student Son (Doona Bae of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance), though her comprehension of Japanese is a bit rough! It’s a race against time as the group struggles to learn three tunes for the festival’s rock concert—including a classic 80’s punk-pop song called “Linda Linda” by the Japanese group The Blue Hearts.

Underachieving high school student Makoto Konno recently started hearing voices and having strange visions that can’t be explained. One day while riding her bike home from school she gets hit by a train—but doesn’t die. Instead she finds herself transported back in time to a few moments before the accident, allowing her to escape in time. After learning that she has this unique ability to “leap” through time, Makoto begins to use it in her everyday life to deftly avoid just about every mundane inconvenience or socially awkward situation. However, when she uses her powers a little bit too much with her closest friends, she discovers that the benefits of time travel aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.
