Synopsis
After Cremona's chaos, Keith and Koku face new threats from past human-evolution experiments.
In the first season of B: The Beginning, two men found themselves drawn into a complex web of mystery and danger in the Kingdom of Cremona. Maverick detective Keith Flick, haunted by his past, pursued a case that would challenge everything he believed in. Meanwhile, a young man named Koku, possessing extraordinary abilities, searched for answers about his fragmented memories and lost connections. Several months after these events, the world has moved on from the chaos that once gripped Cremona. Keith has returned to the Royal Police to continue his work, while Koku attempts to build a quiet life with those he holds dear. However, the shadows of the past are not so easily escaped, as new threats emerge from the remnants of secret experiments that once sought to alter the course of human evolution.
