Mori, a small child found alone in an abandoned house, wakes up in a children's protection center where he begins to adapt to a new life. When his closest friend Rowena is reunited with her mother, Mori learns for the first time what a mother is and embarks on a journey to find his own. Donning a mysterious red cape—a gift from an unusually generous patron—he ventures into a dangerous world where aliens have conquered Earth. There he meets Ryder, a scarlet-skinned alien with horns and five eyes, who decides to protect the determined child on his quest to meet his mom.
