The story begins with Touko, a young girl from a paper-making town who finds herself in the forbidden forest, attacked by flamelings, when a flamecatcher rushes to protect her. But elsewhere, a young man born in the capital named Kōshi shelters his younger sister after losing his mother to the factory's poison.
