An American boy named Bobby lives in a mountain village in Japan, and takes one of his few friends, Akkun and his pet cat Derek into the mountains on the outskirts of the village. On the way, they come across a sign for an entertainment facility "Violence Voyager", and they decide to head there. As they are resting after playing, they meet a girl, Tokiko, who is dressed in shabby clothes. She says that she hasn't been able to leave for several days. They meet children from the village who had arrived before them, but they are attacked by mysterious children wearing white suits, and are captured one after another. They rise up together to rescue Tokiko and to get revenge!
