Synopsis

Orphaned Hayato hunts the Ghost Ship that destroyed his city, uncovering dark truths and blurred loyalties.

Hayato's life is shattered when a mysterious giant robot devastates his city, leaving him orphaned and alone except for his loyal dog Jack. Among the few possessions he salvages are his mother's shoe and a photograph of a couple his dying father reveals to be his birth parents. Driven by grief and a thirst for justice, Hayato sets his sights on the legendary Ghost Ship - a spectral vessel said to be behind the attack and feared by all who sail the seas. As Hayato delves deeper into the mystery surrounding the catastrophe, he begins to uncover unsettling truths about the world around him. Powerful forces work to keep certain secrets buried, and those who get too close to the truth find themselves in grave danger. In his quest for answers, Hayato will discover that the lines between ally and enemy are not as clear as they first appeared, and that the reality behind the Ghost Ship may be far more complex than simple revenge. This dark adventure follows one boy's journey through loss and discovery as he seeks to understand the truth behind the tragedy that changed his life forever.
