After apparently failing 19 job interviews in a single day, Juri Yukawa's aspirations to move out of her parents' home are completely shattered. Forced to remain with her working mother Nobuko, NEET brother Tsubasa, unemployed father Takafumi, and single-parent sister Sanae, the family's sole hope for raising a decent adult rests on her young nephew Makoto. Yet, this struggling household's situation deteriorates further when Makoto and Tsubasa are violently abducted by a mysterious organization and held for ransom. With merely 30 minutes to deliver five million yen to the kidnappers, Juri's grandfather discloses a perilously potent secret to her and Takafumi. By offering blood to her grandfather's mystical stone, the trio enters "Stasis," a version of their world where time halts for everyone except the users. Upon reaching their destination, their rescue attempt goes awry when they are attacked by a surprising group of individuals who somehow possess the ability to move within Stasis. As all hope appears lost, a monstrous giant known as the Herald emerges from the chaos, its intent and motivations as enigmatic as the very nature of this timeless realm.
