In a building close to the Place de la Contrescarpe in Paris, a tale of criss‑crossings in turn romantic, gourmet, interested or mystical, between an Italian gigolo and a nightclub hostess, a family of butchers and an apprentice rocker, a mystic tailor, a writer sending himself telegrams, an alert paralytic woman, a thoughtful concierge, a bird breeder and a just‑out‑of‑jail hooligan. Little by little each one discovers each other’s more or less troubled history… when a mysterious death introduces the Police within this huis clos, hastens disclosure of well‑kept secrets and ruffle this little World.

Two and a half years after the JuLai tragedy, the planet plunges into further chaos. As Midvalley the Hornfreak launches a devastating assault on Home, Nicholas D. Wolfwood is forced into a brutal standalone confrontation to protect the defenseless, while Vash races against time to intervene.

A family barricades themselves in their Tokyo home during a global crisis, but buried secrets soon resurface, threatening to tear them apart.
