Parker Wilson (Richard Gere) is a university professor who, upon returning from work, finds an Akita puppy known for his loyalty in the train station. With no way to drop him off at the station, Parker takes him home even though he knows that Cate (Joan Allen), his wife, is against the presence of a dog. Little by little, Parker becomes fond of the puppy, who has the name Hachi written on the collar, in Japanese. Cate relents and accepts his stay. Hachi grows up and starts to accompany Parker to the train station, returning to the place when the teacher is back. Until an unexpected event changes his life.
