Synopsis:

In a world succumbing to decay, whispers persist of a celestial haven accessible only to wolves. This ancient legend becomes the driving force for Kiba, a solitary wolf navigating the harsh realities of Freeze City, a town oppressed by Lord Orkham's iron rule. Compelled by a potent aroma, Kiba encounters fellow wolves Hige, Tsume, and Toboe, all drawn to the promise of "Lunar Flowers," believed to unlock the gateway to paradise.

Their journey takes them across desolate landscapes, revealing the remnants of a lost civilization and uncovering the true nature of their destiny. The quest for salvation is fraught with peril, as other factions also seek the legendary flowers, hinting at a conflict beyond mere survival. The narrative explores themes of belonging, hope amidst despair, and the blurred lines between legend and reality in a world desperate for renewal.
