Every New Year's Eve, at the stroke of midnight, all Japanese temples ring 108 bells—one for each of the earthly sins that prevent humanity from achieving happiness and harmony. Each ring of the bell releases one of these sins, symbolizing that with the beginning of the new year comes the beginning of a new life, free from hardship and suffering.

Sohara Mamoru was born on the smallest of all Japanese islands on New Year's Eve, with the final ring of the bell, and this circumstance changed his entire life. He learned early on to fix anything that was broken. And Sohara didn't just fix things—sometimes with an encouraging smile, sometimes with a kind word, sometimes with an understanding silence, he selflessly tried to support those around him and ease their pain.

Sohara didn't know that by his very existence, he had brought a belief in small miracles into the lives of his neighbors. He had no idea how much he meant to his fellow villagers until a letter arrived on New Year's Eve, turning his whole life upside down—and until all the islanders united to repay him for all the good he had done.
