The story
is set in a gloomy city known as "The Hole," where a clan of

a reptilian head and amnesia, hunts these sorcerers along with his companion
Nikaido to undo the spell that transformed him. The first season, made up of 12
episodes, debuted on Netflix Japan in January 2020 and reached the rest of the
world in May of the same year.
