The burner is turned up when a mysterious red car begins to shadow her.
As Whitney becomes more accustomed to exotic and intriguing Japan, she learns how to utilize the Buddhist concept of making each moment in time count, as it will never exist again. Whitney also learns how to stand up for herself against her employer and how to accept help from Kano, the handsome but older father of her star student, Rinji.
