It has been nine months since the disappearance of Orihara Izaya. No one cares enough to look for the detested informant, many now leading much happier lives without him interfering. Heiwajima Shizuo is by far the happiest of them all, only ever getting into fights when his job called for it and living out a peaceful existence. What people don't know is that the fake blond is the cause of Izaya's sudden departure, having trained the raven into his perfect pet. Izaya still holds out hope of escaping, but with his mind slowly becoming that of a cat's he begins to realize the futility of his plans.
