Set in the frozen mountains of Japan, the series follows an unnamed, unnamed Japanese macaque whose snow troop banishes him after he integrates a gravely wounded American assassin named Bryce Fowler into their pack. The assassin, fleeing a botched cartel hit, soon perishes from his injuries. Driven by a desire for vengeance when ruthless mercenaries slaughter his entire troop—including his beloved mate—the grieving monkey takes up Bryce’s guns. Fueled by primal rage and guided by the cynical, ghostly hallucination of Bryce himself, the primate embarks on a bloody, relentless quest for retribution that leads him straight into the neon-lit criminal underworld of Tokyo.As the simian vigilante cuts a violent swathe through the Yakuza, corrupt politicians, and international syndicates, his journey evolves beyond simple revenge.

Concurrently, an idealistic, disgraced police officer named Haruka, alongside an ambitious politician named Akiko, navigates the city's treacherous power structures.
