The story tells of a young man and his cat who are being pursued by the police during a particularly stormy night in a city in 1983. The man drives his car into the middle of a cyclone and is caught in a spacetime anomaly. As a result, they end up in the year 2050. Suffering from complete amnesia, he soon finds that he is being pursued by the army-like forces of Necrime, a top criminal organization led by Ludovich. Taking the name Ryū Urashima, the man joins the police force and fights back against Necrime. He is joined in the fight by Sophia, a happy-go-lucky ex-nun, and Claude, a fellow officer. The unit is run by Inspector Gondo Toru. He is also joined by his cat, Myaa, who made the time journey with him and is one of the few links to his past that he remembers.
