Tetsuro lives a quiet and steady life, with cycling as his only passion. But after dreaming of a translucent jellyfish, his world begins to shift in unsettling ways.

As he chases after the thief, Tetsuro encounters a series of enigmatic figures, drawing him deeper into a world where reality and illusion blur beyond recognition.
