Aimlessly wandering around the city, Pinocchio meets Kyoto, an amnesiac homeless girl with a horrible secret of her own. Together, they try to piece together their past lives and survive in a cruel, brutal hellscape.
At the same time, Pinocchio’s fiendish creators search desperately to find their lost prototype android before the public and authorities discover him! As agents pursue Pinocchio, his frantic escape morphs into a mind-warping hallucinogenic thrill ride!
