Plot
On the planet Yamasong, a mechanical tribe called the Hollows, led by the rebellious Yari, has taken devastating measures to fight against ravenous beasts known as the Tricksters. Shojun, a Terrapin warrior who works with the cyborg Nani, tries to rally together three different factions—the mechanical Hollows, reptilian Terrapins and the horned Ovis—as their internal conflict threatens the culture of Yamasong's organic species.
