Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of 1868 England, the narrative follows the complex relationship between the Joestar family and their adopted son, Dio Brando. Initially bound by a debt, the Joestars' lives become entangled with Dio’s ambition for wealth and power. Dio navigates the intricacies of the family dynamic, cultivating an outward image of camaraderie while secretly plotting to seize control. The story explores themes of familial obligation, rivalry, and the corrosive nature of unchecked ambition. As illness befalls George Joestar, suspicion grows, hinting at a darker agenda orchestrated by Dio, blurring the lines between friendship and treachery within a seemingly refined society. The series examines how hidden motivations can reshape personal bonds and expose underlying tensions.
