While hunting a cougar along with her brother and other members of their clan, Naru begins noticing certain anomalies. Her concerns are initially dismissed, prompting her to venture out on her own. Naru soon realizes that she must be strong to protect her clan from harsh nature, wild animals, fur trappers, and a hunter from another world.
