Suzume's journey begins in the quiet town of Kyushu, in South West Japan, where she meets a young man who tells her: 'I'm looking for a door.' Suzume finds an old door that is still standing amid the ruins of her town, as if shielded from the many catastrophees that have occured.

Suzume, apparently drawn towards its powers, reaches for the door knob... and doors begin to open one by one all over Japan, unleashing destruction for anyone nearby. Now Suzume needs to close all these portals to avoid further disasters.
