The Story: A High-Stakes Heist Across Two Days
In the corrupt, poverty-stricken metropolis of Rainshadow City, the criminal syndicate known as the Lucky Crows rules the streets with an iron fist. Three found-family orphans—Toshiko, Jun, and Mei Kawakami—are out for vengeance following the murder of their beloved mentor.
When Toshiko pulls off a daring heist and steals a mythical dragon pearl directly from the leader of the Crows, she sets off an explosive chain reaction. Their lives collide with Haru, the Emperor's secret-dragon-whispering son, and Theo, a reluctant immigrant foot-soldier forced into the mob. Tightly paced over just 48 hours, these unlikely allies must unite to shape the destiny of the entire archipelago.
