However, this family harbors a secret.
Haruka had inherited a power from her father known as the “Engine” and had been hiding it from others.
Meanwhile, Akira had not inherited his father’s power and felt insecure about his own weakness.

Amidst this, strange phenomena begin to occur all over the world.
