In the northern city of T’Karanto, rival gang disputes are at an all-time high. A mechanic named Kyoshi and his grandson Dante stay vigilant amid increased crime, but their strength is wavering. A monthly payment to a local gang for protection provides some ease, but the fees keep climbing. When a customer, a beastie, walks in on a violent shakedown, he gives the thugs a swift beating. However, his impulsive actions just put the largest gang target on his back—and it’s the Kiyoshis who are caught in the middle! Dante steps in to protect what life and family he has left, but what can an 11-year-old kid do against ruthless criminals? As bad decisions pile up, with each choice proving worse than the last, tragedy lands in the spotlight as two unlikely characters are brought together.

Bili is the son of a notorious gangster, but his quiet and lonesome demeanor makes him an easy target for local thugs. When an unexpected beating takes a ruthless turn, Bili is overcome with intense rage and trauma—transforming him into his chimera form—into that of an ape. As he struggles to cope with his new life, he faces ever growing challenges—from confronting his hatred for his father to learning how to thrive in the unforgiving slums ruled by crime lords and corruption. With the aid of new comrades, Hamed a baboon and Zatoichi a blind monkey, Bili embarks on a life of purpose—a life of cold, unapologetic vengeance against each of those who have taken a piece of him—who he once was . . . and what he will ultimately become.
