In a refined world of anthropomorphic animals, fragile civility masks a deep divide between carnivores and herbivores. At Cherryton Academy, that strain erupts after a predation incident leaves Tem, an alpaca in the drama club, dead. Legoshi, Tem’s friend and a gray wolf who works behind the scenes on stage crew, becomes an easy target for fear and suspicion—something he’s endured for most of his life. In the wake of the tragedy, he keeps his head down and suppresses anything that might seem threatening, drawing criticism from Louis, a red deer and the drama club’s commanding lead actor.

As the club pushes forward with its upcoming performance, Louis slips into the auditorium to drill Tem’s replacement and orders Legoshi to stand watch. That night, Legoshi crosses paths with Haru, a white dwarf rabbit ostracized by her classmates. The connection that begins to form between them—tangled with Legoshi’s instincts—drives him to question who he really is, probe the truth behind Tem’s death, and face the violence simmering beneath their society’s surface.
