- Suzume, a 17-year-old from Kyushu, is on her first adventure when she meets a young man who says, “I’m looking for a door.”
- Suzume discovers a solitary worn door that remains upright and appears to have protected from whatever disaster occurred in the middle of the wreckage.
- Suzume goes for the knob, seemingly fascinated by its might.
All around Japan, doors start to open one after another, letting disaster fall on everybody nearby. These gateways must shut down by Suzume to avert greater catastrophe.
