The narrative unfolds in a near-future Japan grappling with escalating social tensions fueled by economic disparity and subtle prejudice. A young woman, burdened by familial expectations and a quiet resilience, finds herself drawn into a clandestine network dedicated to challenging systemic inequity. Her path intersects with individuals from diverse backgrounds – artists, activists, and those marginalized by the prevailing societal structures.

The series explores themes of identity, belonging, and the complexities of community building in an increasingly fractured world. Rather than action-driven conflict, the story emphasizes character interactions and the nuanced ways people navigate difficult circumstances. It offers a contemplative atmosphere, examining personal struggles alongside broader questions about justice and the potential for connection amidst division. The visual style blends realistic depictions of urban life with moments of stylized expression, reflecting the internal emotional landscapes of its characters.
