He is in a dead-end relationship with Keiko, his Japanese girlfriend, whose apartment is filled with stuffed toys.
But his troubles are only beginning. As the hot, stormy rainy season descends, Keiko's family appear on his doorstep, determined to pressure him into marriage with their daughter. Owners of their own mysterious and threatening 'Company Business' (or is it 'Business Company'? ) they set about atking over his life. As Daniel resists, or tries to, he will learn a great deal about Japan - good and bad - and about his own culture.
