The legalization of narcotics unleashed a wave of supernatural powers among drug addicts. To battle the new enemies, the 'D-Unit' is formed comprising of detectives, who alongside the reader, are plunged into a superhuman doping conflict.

The gripping story unfolds in a dark dystopia reminiscent of the hit anime Psycho-Pass, which Yoshigami also had a hand in creating as a screenwriter of the third season and author of the franchise's short novels.
