Plot summary
Trouble-making police detective Boyle Samejima, who is not averse to breaking rules to get the job done, is transferred from Shinjuku, Tokyo to the laid-back Ogasawara Islands. Now at the Anegashima Police Department, Samejima investigates the bizarre unsolved case of "The Cult of the Sea" (海の教団), where a religious cult who worshiped a little girl as their oracle suddenly vanished. That little girl, Chako, has recently returned with a humanoid dolphin named Orpheus, whom she calls "Papa." Orpheus joins the police department on the same day as Samejima, as his partner and superior.
