Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Synopsis
In Florida, 2011, Jolyne Kuujou is sitting in a cell just like her father Joutarou was; however, this situation is not of her own choosing. Framed for a crime she did not commit and manipulated into serving a longer sentence, Jolyne is willing to resign herself to a dismal fate as a prisoner in the Delfin Verde Street Jail. Although all hope seems lost, a gift from Joutarou ends up awakening her latent abilities, manifesting in her Stand, Stone Free. Now armed with the power to change her destiny, Jolyne sets out to find a way out of the ocean of stone that holds her. However, she soon discovers that her imprisonment is but a small part of a larger plot: one that not only targets her family, but has further far-reaching consequences. It's more, the mastermind lurks in the same prison, and is under the protection of a menacing lineup of Stand users. Finding unlikely allies to aid her cause, Jolyne sets out to stop the plot, clear her name and restore her life.
