In this world where the main crime is being made of fur, there are power struggles, furry intrigue, doll trafficking, and conspiracy theories linking the Templars to Manzarra's success. Throughout the episodes, we will follow the journey of this group of dolls who only wanted to be treated with respect, but end up being tried in court.
