Keiji Kiriya dies during his first battle against the alien Mimics, then wakes to find himself back before the fighting began. As the same day returns, he uses each failed attempt to sharpen his skills and survive a little longer. A veteran soldier named Rita Vrataski may understand what is happening to him, but escaping the cycle requires more than learning how to fight.
