Synopsis

Parasitic lifeforms arrive on Earth and silently invade vulnerable people, burrowing into their brains to seize control and reshape themselves into grotesque forms to hunt. When one of these invaders targets high schooler Shinichi Izumi, it cannot reach his mind and instead becomes fused to his right hand, forcing the boy and the creature into an uneasy, symbiotic partnership as they navigate a society now teeming with hidden predators.
