Hunter is a lonely man who lives on his own in a cabin out in the woods across from the pale city. Ever since his girlfriend, Veronica, left him for his sudden change of personality, he's been trying to prove to her that he's still the man she once loved. For this reason, he decides to start fostering a young boy named Mono, wanting Veronica to care for him once again. But when he starts to get attached to the child, a potential threat arises.

Meanwhile, the pale cities only school is in danger of closing, due to a woman named Geisha threatening to buy the school and bulldoze the grounds, wanting to take the land and build a boat rental building for her own personal gain. Josephine, one of the teachers there, is struggling to prevent this from happening.

So, her and Hunter decide to work together to keep Mono in Hunter's custody and help the school fight back against Geisha.
