The quest for knowledge can lead to conflict with scientific mindsets and political interests, as the geneticist and anthropologist Wolfgang Heinrich discovers. Quitting his position at a prestigious institute in Berlin, he moves to a university in Tokyo, following an invitation from his former mentor Takeshi Moto, who however remains mysteriously elusive. Professor Heinrich works with a young team on the Nippon Genome Project, but privately is fascinated by the fate of the Jomon, the indigenous people of Japan. The journey he sets out on - researching ancient migration - increasingly resembles a dark and treacherous ocean current. Along the way he meets other uprooted individuals adapting, with varying degrees of success, to our swiftly changing times.
