Three homeless people—a alcoholic, a runaway teen, and a former drag queen—discover an abandoned newborn in a dumpster on Christmas Eve. They set out through the dangerous and festive streets of Tokyo to find the baby’s parents, an quest that forces each of them to confront their own troubled pasts.
