Kaksi toisilleen vierasta ihmistä tapaa Tokiossa. Charlotte on Tokiossa kiireisen valokuvaajamiehensä Johnin kanssa. John ei osoita paljoakaan kiinnostusta vaimoaan kohtaan, ja Charlotte viettää suurimman osan ajastaan yksin hotellissa. Siellä hän tapaa näyttelijä Bob Harrisin, joka on Tokiossa tekemässä viskimainosta. Bob on tehnyt erityisen tuottoisan sopimuksen, mutta hän on uupunut ja kyllästynyt koko tilanteeseen – samoin kuin vaimoonsa. Vaimo soittaa Bobille Los Angelesista useita kertoja päivässä kuullakseen Bobin mielipiteen heidän talonsa sisustuksesta. Tyhjyyden tunne painostaa, mutta Charlotten ja Bobin välille syntyy yhtäkkinen yhteenkuuluvuuden tunne keskellä vierasta maailmaa. Yhdessä he tutustuvat Tokioon ja japanilaisten karaoke-mieltymykseen ja yllättäen he löytävät olemassaololle syvemmän merkityksen kuin ennen.
